Client Network Traffic with Exchange Server 2003

A question I often get asked is – how do the different combinations of Exchange clients stack up against each other with regards to bandwidth usage ? Does Outlook Web Access use less bandwidth use less bandwidth than the full Outlook client ?

Well these questions and many, many more are answered at https://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/2003/clinettraf.mspx

It’s a very, very comprehensive document that goes into great detail comparing the different clients which are available. At the end of the document is a summary which gives a high level overview of the results.

I wouldn’t recommend going through the document page by page but it will give you a good insight into which client to select in low bandwidth environments.
