Thank for your responce.

So i explain my configuration.

This is a server for my client.
I have 1 server with SBS 2003 R2 std, the pc was only a laptop
I don't have an internet connection with a fix ip adress
I use a dyndns like "mycompany.dyndns.org"

That's fine.

So i configure the server with the CEICW assistant, i enable the
standard options like OWA, OMA, Companyweb...
When he ask me to create an auto generate dertificate i use the same
name of my dyndns : "mycompany.dyndns.org"

Sure.


I configure the VPN Connection with the assistant too.

OK, but that won't be relevant here.

For the test i open any internet traffic to my private ip adress of
my server.

No....not even for a second. That is incredibly dangerous. Undo that.
you need

25 (SMTP for Exchange)
443 (HTTPS)
4125 (Remote Desktop via RWW)

.....if you're also using VPN, then 1723 /GRE in your firewall.



When i work at my office, outlook can connect to the exchange server.
When i work out of my office, i can connect to the OWA web site with
this adress:
"http://mycompany.dyndns.org/exchange";

Cool.

At this moment i have a warning in IE 7.0 "the security certificate
of this web site have a prolem" i click to "comtinue with this web
site" (sorry for the message i work on french PC, and it's not easy
to translate the text) but you it was the default message with the
red warning on the adress.

Yep - this is where you accept & then install the certificate after you get
the warning.

Now i have the OWA connection page, i get my user name and password
and i click to connect. So i can read my message ...
In this page i selected the certificate message and i click to display
certificate and install it.
I have a new assistant to install the certificate "welcome..." i
click next to check the default selection and i have a resume of my
certificate, the name was "mycompany.dyndns.org" i click install.
When i reboot my PC and go back to the OWA web site, now i don't have
the warning message with the certificate. I can access to OWA and
check my mail. But it's very strage, if i go to the IE 7 option on
the certificate store i can't see the certificate of my SBS server??

You may not be looking in the right place. But if you don't get prompted
again, it's installed.

Now for the RPC over HTTP
I use Outlook 2003 SP3 (with the last service pack of office update
Why i open Outlook, he ask me my user name and password
(user=MYDOMAIN\user) but i he ask me all the time. If i launch the
VPN connection it work very well, logic i connect to my office.

For the RPC configuration of my Outlook 2003 client:
I go to control panel, mail, select my exchange account and edit:
- i check the "use cached exchange mode" box
- i select "more settings"
- i select "Exchange over the internet" and check box "Connect to my
exchange mailbox using HTTP"
- on the "Exchange Proxy settings"
- in "Use this URL to connect to my proxy server exchange" i use
"mycomany.dyndns.org"

Nope - this is the internal name of your server. Not your public one. Please
check out the webpage on Remote Web Workplace as I suggested and follow the
steps precisely-

https://mycompany.dyndns.org/remote or from inside your LAN,
https://servername/remote

- i select "Connect using SSL only" and i check the "mutually
authentica session when connect with SSL"
- i type another "mycompany.dyndns.org" (i have a tips of
microsoft, they recomand to type "msstd:mycomapny.dyndns.org" i try

You need this one.


this but it doesn't work, and i don't know was is the "msstd")
- i use the default optional choice for the fast or long connction
- for the proxy setting i try authicat base or NTLM it doesn't too.

So, i hope with this new info you can help me??

Thank..

PS: sorry for the translation but it not easy to translate the franch
message in english. I reply to your post but i don't know if it work
cause my IE was an error and the end, so if it second responce sorry
for that..

That's OK - you're getting closer.
Please reply *inline* to keep things clear.

You'll need to post the exact text of the message, but note that you
can find out the RPC over HTTP Setup steps exactly in Remote Web
Workplace - click on the link that explains how to set up Outlook
over the Internet.
