Quick question about Microsoft Exchange

[Mill]

How can I use Outlook to check my Exchange e-mail, when I'm not at work and away from our internal network? I can access the Exchange server using IE and going to our server address, but I'm wondering if I can get Outlook to do the same.

Yeah, I know it is wrong forum and all

just sign up for gmail, it's the bee's knees!

Depending how the network is setup, as well as the firewalls, routers etc. you may be able to use the FQDN for the SMTP/POP server in outlooks account properties...

Yeah, I'm not going to be able to do that because my boss is a security freak. Thanks though.

This is what I'm probably going to try when I get a chance.

Wrong forum biznatch!

**EDIT** Why would they have a problem with VPN?? In my experience, it works well.

Wow that sucks. All your DCs need to be running 2k3, not just the exchange server.

I have by the way heard from MS sources, that a script for automatically configuring the servers for RPC over HTTP functionality will be released as a part of the Windows 2003 Server Service Pack 1

At least that's good news...

If that is true then OWA is the only option you have, and if he's a security freak then he's running it on a Front End server using SSL.

It almost isn't worth the hassle, because I can check it online using http://mail.server.com and be done with it. I'm really not going to care too much about it, but I just wondered if there was a quick fix.
