Thunderbird does the job for me quite nicely with our exchange server, but the lightning plugin doesn't do shared calendars, it only stores the data locally. I imagine this would be a total show-stopper for anyone who actually wants to arrange a meeting with anyone aside from just themselves.
If you do have control of these machines, why not take out the disks (having moved the data, obviously) and have them network-boot off a decentralised cluster of servers - you could use the disks thus freed-up to increase the capacity of the servers, backup user files more efficiently, save on installation/support issues, and potentially make every desk a hotdesk too.
Oh wait, they're probably windows machines and windows probably doesn't do well at PXE booting off a server - move along, nothing to see here.
