Internet access to our Exchange Server?

[sicsicsic]

Our parent company has an exchange server that can be accessed from 3G phones, home internet, etc. using a server.domain.net address. I just set up an exchange server on the same network but for separate users (we're migrating mailboxes from the parent company Exchange to our own server so they can move their exchange off of our network and site, everything is on one domain).

We also have our own website (the server for it is on the same network).

How can I get smart phones to access the server?

For example, is it an Exchange setting? Something I set through our domain provider?

I tried to google this but I can't seem to put together the right verbiage to find a solution.

Our network is pretty simple:

Internet -> Firewall -> Switches -> Servers.

Windows Server 2008 64 bit running Exchange 2010 for our mailboxes.

Greatly appreciate any help!

If you don't already have one, you're going to need to add a record for yourexchangeserver.domain.com with your domain registrar.

You're going to need to configure your firewall to forward the appropriate ports to your exchange server.

You're going to need to configure your Exchange server for OWA, RPC over HTTP/s, Exchange ActiveSync, etc.

Cool - thank you for the bump in the right direction.

You also are going to need a certificate as well.

Good point! And it's the one that will cost you some money as long as you or someone you work with is capable of handling everything else.

Still trying to understand certificates. I was told I could "get away" with a self signed certificate but I bet that isn't exactly best practice - still trying to understand the whole thing.
