EXPERT RESPONSE
Installing Microsoft Outlook on Exchange Server is not recommended or supported. Exchange Server installs a copy of MAPI32.DLL file in the %systemroot%\system32 folder. Microsoft Outlook installs its own version of MAPI32.DLL in a different location in the program files folder, and installs a stub version in the location where Exchange Server expects to find it. This may continue to work for any length of time, but it is an unsupported configuration. Additionally, it may break some other programs that rely on MAPI.
You should uninstall Microsoft Outlook from the Exchange Server, then run Exchange setup and select the reinstall option.
