Re: Outlook Vs Outlook Anywhere

What's the difference between a 'user' and a 'computer'?
You only need to punch information into a computer once.

Nice one..:-)

This guy at my company was going on about opening port 80 and I didn't really like the sound of that, that's why I stuck with the CEICW and sought your views/recomendations.
He kept talking about Outlook over http...I kept saying to him " you'll be talking about 'rpc over https then' " ? he kept insisting that it was just over http..live and learn..

yes, I'll also state that the only 'proper' reason to allow port 80 in is the automatic redirection to HTTPS.

My _opinion_ is that if users are too lazy to remember httpS they should not be allowed to connect.

IIRC the SBS documentation recommends opening 80 so that incoming RWW connections to http://whatever can be automatically redirected to https://whatever. Many people, myself included, run RWW with port 80 closed by instructing the users to use https://. Regardless, you don't need to open port 80 for Outlook RPC, as you're configuring that to use https anyway, and once configured, the user doesn't have to worry about the connection settings.

James I've seen several posts from you saying to open port 80. I think you should just recommend only port 443.

Outlook anywhere is basically the same as Outlook but you check an option
when mapping the exchange mailbox for the first time (to use RPC over HTTP
which must be installed on the server), its in the advanced options somewhere
and the mailbox must be mapped when on the internal network initially. You
need port 80 open for inbound connections on the firewall.

In a nutshell what are the advantages or disadvantages of using an Outlook
Anywhere type connection as opposed to regular Outlook connected to Exchange
in the regular manner..

One of the guys is telling me that where he used to work everyone was
connected to Exchange without having to make a VPN connection like they
currently do at this place.

They share lots of items in each others mailboxes.

Can this still be undertaken if they were setup with Outlook Anywhere ?
