Re: Client cannot connect Outlook with Exchange while VPN'n

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



1. Are you talking about an inplace upgrade, or upgrade to SBS 2003 on a new server?

2. Regarding the email/vpn issue. When the remote computer is connected to the SBS server, can he ping the server by name? if he does an nslookup on the SBS server name, does it resolve? is WINS information being populated?

Is he able to get to Outlook Web Access?

Does the Exchange server receive mail directly on port 25 or is Exchange
collecting mail via POP3 from an ISP with the POP3 connector?

Sorry about that... I hate when people dont add the information
needed. :)

I have a client who is running Outlook 2003 on a Windows XP SP3 laptop
trying to connect to his Exchange (MS SBS 2000). He VPN's in and can
easly access his network drives as he normally does. These shares are
on the same server as the Excahnge server. I can ping the server by
its name on this laptop. I tried the TELNET suggestion to try to
connect to the server via port 25 with no luck.
When the user brings his laptop into the office, and logs in.. no
issues at all. I guess this has been an issue for some time and I am
uncertain about when it started happening.- Hide quoted text -

Exchange is using port 25. We do not have OWA enabled on the 2000
SBS. What blows me away is that he can still access shares that are on
the same server as Exchange.

.. Reason why I was going from 2000 to 2003 was because I head that
they upgrade from 2000 directly to 2008 can be complicated. Since we
already own 2003 (and have a licence to upgrade to 2008 whenever we
want) I thought that going to 2003 would be a good idea. Once we are
stablized on 2003, then make the jump up to 2008.
