RE: Outlook access problems over VPN



I have a suggestion for exchange, RPC over HTTP. Works great and clients
don't have to worry about a vpn for email. They just open up outlook whether
internal or remote the same way.

Trying to troubleshoot what you have, I'd probably start by having Netmon
internal to try and sniff the traffic when a client was having the problem
and go from there.
