Re: Exchange connectivity over a VPN - Outlook 2003

Yes, it can access the domain controller. All network shares and printers
work fine. Accounting software works fine. Exchange does not.

ISA 2004 is the firewall on the server. SBS 2003 Pro comes with all-in-one.
So the same server that runs Exchange also runs ISA

Can it access the Domain controller and global catalog?
Does the connection go through a firewall?

Right. What I am asking is when you are connected via the VPN, do the
ping
packets return? What is the latency?

my internal server name is laserserver03. The domain is lcllc.local

"ping laserserver03.lcllc.local" resoves my internal ip address of
10.0.0.10

And it is pingable?

Once I log onto the VPN, I CAN resolve the internal address of the
exchange
server

VPN's can be tricky.
When they connect via VPN can they ping their exchange server by
name?
By IP address?

If they can ping via IP but not name, then you may want to put an
entry
in
the hosts file on their machine(s) so that they can resolve the
exchange
server name.
The hosts file is c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

I have a few clients that connect remotly using a VPN connection
to
SBS
2003
sp1(Exchange is built in - ver 6.5.7638.1). The clients are
using
XP
sp2
and
Outlook 2003. The problem is that when they are in the office,
everything
works fine. When they are out of the office and connect through
the
VPN,
everything works fine EXCEPT for Outlook. It hangs on "trying to
connect"
for several minutes before timing out completely.

I'm using the built in VPN client with XP to connect directly to
SBS
2003.
No 3rd party software/hardware involved.
