SBS2008: accessing Exchange 2007 mails from external client

Superficial · 2 Sep 2009 at 23:06

hi there,

not sure if that thread title is clear :
Something i have seen done (i think) but not tried before....I'd like to have an external outlook 2007 client access mails as if they were on the domain except they would be working remotely and without VPN.a colleague of mine seems to have exactly that but i have only ever used VPN for remote clients.

i would be very greatful if someone could give a name to my requirement and perhaps even point me to a guide - thats of course if i have gotten my facts straight.

thanks for reading - any help much appreciated

edit: am I right in thinking this is called Outlook Anywhere?

edit 2: would this configuration also allow tasks and appointments to be access remotely also?

please forgive my ignorance but i have a question regarding dns records

in order to purchase and register my ssl certificate i must enter the FQDN.

I would like to test out this entire process and so would like to get hold of a 30-day trial SSL cert and register it against one of my own domains

e.g. i propose to enter remote.superficial.co.uk as the FQDN to register it against - can i do this for a test?

if so can i update my A records on my superficial.co.uk cpanel to point to the static IP of the server which id like to use outlook anywhere with? or am completely off-base?

also do i need to configure my firewall to allow the outlook anywhere service to work - it is currently set at default settings.
