Re: Configure Outlook to connect to Exchange over the internet

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Assuming your users want the full Outlook experience and don't want to VPN
into the corporate backbone first, yes.

Just so you know, Exchange does support POP3/IMAP/SMTP, but I don't like
suggesting it as it never fails that a machine at home pops all the email
out of the inbox and then the user comes back to work and asks... "where did
my e-mail go?". How often do you think I giggle and then end up doing a
mailbox restore?)

Thank you Neo for your response. We have the exact setup as you
described.
Is RPC over HTTPS my only option?

You didn't say what version of Exchange is in use at work, therefore the
best I can suggest is that if the site is running a Windows 2003 Active
Directory domain with Exchange 2003 installed on Windows 2003 servers and
your employees are running Windows XP (SP2) with Office/Outlook 2003,
then
they can connect via RPC over HTTPS.

Anything less that the above, and they would have to VPN in to the site
and
then use Outlook.

We have a few "work from home" employees who want me to setup their
Outlook
on their home computers. No one here has done that because we have
OWA.
How would I set this up?

Thank you in advanced for your responses.
