Which Exchange version am I using?
I've read about several features I liked but they depend on the version of Exchange I am connecting to.
Aside from contacting my mail admin, how can I found out which version of Exchange I'm running against?
There is an option to check your connection status which also displays the Exchange version number.
- Start Outlook and connect to the Exchange server if this isn’t done automatically already.
- Hold CTRL while clicking on the Outlook icon in the Notification Area
(located in the right bottom area near the time; expand the Notification Area first if the Outlook icon does not show). From the context menu that pops-up choose: Connection Status…
- Scroll the horizontal scrollbar to the right to see the last column.
(if the dialog is empty, then you are not connected to Exchange) - Here you’ll see a version number. Use the table below to determine which named version of Exchange it corresponds with.
Your version number could be between 2 named versions. In that case, your named version corresponds with the lower version but with some additional update installed.
