Working with Outlook and Project Server

If you didn't know, you can sync your task in Project Server to your Outlook. The Project Server 2007 Outlook Sync works with Outlook 2003/2007.

So what is new in the Outlook Sync in Project Server 2007.

Outlook Sync for Project Server 2003:



Outlook Sync for Project Server 2007:


So now you can have your tasks sit the the Outlook Tasks instead of cluttering up your calendar! The rest of the options are the same. You can create a task from Outlook and have that created in Project Server, it's still a one way creation of task and you can sync updates and progress of the task back.

Are you sure that the Outlook connector works from Project Server 2007 to Outlook 2003?

Apparently it does, that's what the minimum requirement of the Outlook Sync says when you install it. Outlook 2003, I'm not sure if any of the functionalities are cut down.

Anyone wants to test to reaffirm?

I'm running Outlook 2003 and Project Server 2007. It defaults to having the tasks imported in to Outlook tasks. You can change it to appear in the Calendar.
