Actually, if Windows Server 2003 is running Active Directory, it is possible to make an LDAP connection to the data in AD and expose that as a read-only address list in Outlook. Also, Windows Server 2003 can run WIndows SharePoint Services, whose contacts and events lists can be viewed in Outlook 2003, again read-only.

See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/share.htm for other solutions.

We currently run NT4 on our server and are upgrading. We need the ability
to
share Outlook files (mainly contacts, tasks and calendars. Can we do this
with MS Server 2003 or do we need MS EXchange Server 2003 or newer?

Thanks in advance
