RE: outlook and exchange



Hi Leonard,

Thanks for posting here.

From the description, I understand the issue is that you have outlook over
http issue. If I am off base, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Let us refer to the following steps to troubleshoot the issue:

Outlook using RPC over HTTP from the PC. To do so:

A. Click Start on your SBS server, click Server Management.

B. Click To Do List and then click "Connect to the Internet".

C. Click Next, select connection type and click Next.

D. Select Enable firewall and click Next.

E. Click Next, go through the steps until the Web Services Configuration
page shows, ensure "Outlook over the Internet" and "Remote Web Workplace"
are selected. Click Next.

F. Go through the steps until the Web Server Certificate page shows. Select
"Create a new Web server certificate", and type your FQDN
(mail.something.com) in the "Web server name" text box.

IMPORTANT: The FQDN that you type in the "Web server name" box must be the
same name that you use to connect to the Web site from the Internet. For
example, if the URL that you use to connect to OWA
<<https://mail.something.com/exchange>>, type "mail.something.com" (without
the quotation marks) in the "Web server name" box.

G. Click Next, and follow the instructions to finish.

H. On the remote client, open IE and go to
https://mail.something.com/remote, log on to RWW, click "Configure Outlook
via the Internet".

I. Then the Web page "Using Outlook via the Internet" will appear which has
pretty much a step by step list of instructions to configure Outlook over
HTTP on the client. If it tells you to use "server.domain.local", use that.
If it tells you to use "server.domain.com", use that. Follow the steps
exactly.

J. Test if the you can connect at this time.
