Re: Question about SMB2k3 and Exchange server

Hello,

We are a small company that have an Exchange server up and running
with a pop3 connector configuration on our local domain:
companyname.local.

I suggest you ditch the POP connector - it's a kluge. Exchange is designed
to receive mail delivered directly via SMTP.

Within the LAN, everything is working nicely, but I would very much
like the users be able to reach the local exchange server from WAN
(Without OWA). I've done as much as to setup a dyndns.org address
"comapnyname.dyndns.org", but i'm not really sure what ports i need to
open

For RPC over HTTP (aka Outlook Anywhere), it's 443 for HTTPS.

to ensure full functionality and what address to use. Can i
simply type the "companyname.dyndns.org" address in the "Exchange
server address:" field when i've opened the necessary ports and
forwarded them to the exchange server?

See Charlie's post.

An alternative could be if I could connect to the server via the so
called "SBS connection manager" and use the local address, would that
work? I guess I still would have to forward some ports.

Yep, but you don't need VPN for this.

Best regards
Eric
