Installing as per-user is also possible but is not recommended. Install Outlook in the same location on all computers that will be used for roaming users. If your organization already has roaming configured for Outlook users, you can ensure a smooth transition when you upgrade to Outlook 2002 by following the guidelines mentioned in this section.
Users can only roam between computers running the same version of Outlook.
New features in Outlook 2002 are not available to users with Outlook 2000 profiles, which can create confusion for users roaming in an environment with a mix of Outlook versions. S etting up roaming users with Outlook 2002 To set up roaming for users in Outlook 2002, you first decide how to manage users' data so the information they need is available to them as they roam. Managing folder locations To ensure that a user's e-mail messages and other Outlook information roam with the user, you might need to take special steps to configure Outlook folder locations. For example, suppose the users in your organization receive mail in an Inbox located on their Microsoft Exchange server. They can view new mail when they roam without taking special steps.
