ZCS 6.0 + 5.x outlook connector?

[mrjohnsen]

Hi,
We want to upgrade to ZCS 6.0 fast, but need to clarify this first:
A lot of our clients use 5.x outlook connector today (obviously), will this be unusable after we upgrade to ZCS 6.0 or is it "just" recommended to upgrade the connector also?

Good question. My Outlook users are split between 5.0.16.2 and 5.0.17, all with Outlook 2007.

A related question: will the 6.0 connector work with ZCS 5.0.18? If so we could upgrade the clients before the server.

A compatibility matrix would be a great help.

5.0.x connectors will work with 6.0 servers. We'll support that. BES is ZCO-5.0 based, after all. We won't support 6.0 ZCO connectors with 5.0.x servers. That's in the release notes. It might work, but we don't want to support that. The standard line is that ZCO can be older than the server, but not newer.

Thank you , fsiegel.
