Exchange 2003 & Outlook

[Rayza]

We're running SBS 2k3 with Exchange 2k3 and some of the users need to access their e-mails from the internet i.e at home, not the office.

How do you setup Outlook to access the server?

Easiest way is to setup VPN under SBS 2003. post back if you need help doing this.

Easiest way is to use Outlook Web Access https://I.P.Address/Exchange Login and have access to all your email/contacts etc.

Outlook webaccess is setup by default and enabled by default when Exchange is installed. you will just need to forward port 80 from your firewall to your server running Exchange.

he might want to consider a securty certificate from a company such as THAWTE or similar,for security reasons, but yeah the other guys are riight OWA is the best way.. you can also buy a domain name so instead of https:\\xx.xxx.x.xx./exchange you can just have mail.yourdomain.com which is much easier for ppl to remember

or you could just use your own CA to produce the certificate.

sweet! thanks for that chilifrei64, i thought that only certain companies could authorise these,

I suppose it does make sense tho if you have a buisness and you have an exchange and all you wanna do is use OWA to access your exchange server and your mail then why would you need someone else to "sign" the certificate as its for yourself.

thanks again chilifrei64 its all so much clearer now!
