Hello Guys, So my boss wants to be able to send tasks to people in Microsoft Outlook who are outside of the building. Currently he can send tasks and you can view them in the Web Exchange, but, you can't accept them, etc... OurURL "mail.OURSITE.com" points to our network from the rest of the world and could be used as an exchange server address from outside of our LAN if we recognize what ports are required and set the static routing for those ports to theOURMAIL server (as is done for the web browser). However because of the way that this particular router works you can not connect to the real world IP of "mail.OURSITE.com" from inside the building. We should however be able to set our DNS or something to resolve mail.OURSITE.com toOURMAIL serverwhen inside the office. It may also be possible to tell outlook to use multiple addresses for the server, but I am not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciate. thank you very much everyone.

Hi, Whats your problem? The meeting request cant be accepted via OWA outside, right? Please help us clarify the following questions: 1. What do you mean about cant accepted? Is there any error occurs or something else? 2. If you are using Outlook, can this request be accepted? 3. How about using OWA internal? Does the same issue happen? I await your reply. Thanks, Elvis

Hi, Thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay. If someone sends me a task at work, everything is fine, i can say "accept" and receive the task. If im at home, i have to use the web access and i can view the tasks but i cannot accept them etc... what i really want is to be able to use outlook at home exactly as i use it at work. like, how does outlook know im at home and not at the office? is there some sort of port settings or something like that i can mess with? thank you ahead of time. James

Hi, If you want to use outlook at home, then you can use Outlook Anywhere feature in Exchange 2007(RPC over Http in Exchange 2003) Detail information you can refer to the article: Overview of Outlook Anywhere http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123741(EXCHG.80).aspx Technical Details of Using RPC over HTTP to Access Exchange from an Outlook Client http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996072(EXCHG.65).aspx Hope it helps.
