Re: Domain Name instead of an IP Address for remote access

Steve,

Exactly... that's what I just found out talking to my ISP. Only glitch, when
it was setup I used "exchange.intellicam.net" and I want to use it for RWW,
etc... so I simply had them change it to something more generic,
"remote.intellicam.net".

Thank you both for your input, well done!

Best Regards - Trevor

Do you use SMTP for incoming mail on your SBS? If so you probably already
have a public DNS record pointing to the server such as
mail.intellicam.net. You can rerun the CEICW and specify that for the
certificate. You could then access OWA with
https://mail.intellicam.net/exchange or RWW by
https://mail.intellicam.net/remote.

Ok... I am still learning the whole DNS thing... A little slower please
:-)

Does this involve any action on the part of my ISP?

Would "intellicam.net" be considered my public DNS? (www.intellicam.net
is how my our website is currently accessed)

Would I be able to use intellicam.net/exchange or would I need another
name like intellicamra.net?

My server uses a static IP address. I also have many more static IP's
that I am not using, if that helps.

"yes. All you need to do is have your public DNS records point to the
address
you want to use. And you'll need to update your Certificates, of course."

Could I trouble you for more of a step by step or perhaps a pertinent
article.

Thanks for your interest in my question.

- Trevor

yes. All you need to do is have your public DNS records point to the
address you want to use. And you'll need to update your Certificates, of
course.

If your server is on a dynamic address, you'll need to use a DNS hoster
that supports dynamic updates, such as ZoneEdit.com or DynDNS.

I would like users who access OWA (for example) to be able to use a
domain
name rather than an IP address. Currently to access OWA for example
they
would type the following;
208.146.25.149\exchange (then username and password)

Isn't there a way to have them simply type a domain name like;
mycompany.net\exchange (then username and password)

Any thoughts would be appreciated...
