I have done such a transition for our small company, and I must admit
that dealing with Outlook 2003 is a huge nightmare. I had to implement
some server side scripts to solve some of the issues.

On the bright side, I have given a test-drive to Outlook 2007, and it
looks like it saved ALL THE ISSUES we are facing with 2003. And it even
manages ical files...

Do not hesitate to ask if you need further /information.
