Hi all, If I need to allow users to configure outlook by using home computers. what should I configure? Do I need to add autodiscover.mycompany.com DNS record too? (exchange 2007 and outlook 2007) Thank you.

or use srv records. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940881 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb332063(EXCHG.80).aspx http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2007/09/21/447067.aspx autodiscover.mycompany.com should represent the SMTP addresses of your users - so if its user@mycompany.com, then yes set up a DNS record liek that in external DNS that points to a valid CAS.

Hi all, >If I need to allow users to configure outlook by using home computers. what should I configure? should I enable outlook anywhere? Thank you.

Yes, if not already set it has to be enabled on the internet facing CAS server: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998934(EXCHG.80).aspx /MartinExchange is a passion not just a collaboration software.

Hi all, >If I need to allow users to configure outlook by using home computers. what should I configure? should I enable outlook anywhere? Thank you. If you want to use it, yes :)

Have you ever considered OWA? Just deploy the Client Access Server.

No. just wonder if I users need to use Outlook with their home computers, just adding autodiscover.mycompany.com or SRV record is enough? Thank you.

You need a certificate, you need outlook anywhere to be enabled and then the SRV or autodiscover, and of course opened in the firewall so you can access the server. /MartinExchange is a passion not just a collaboration software.

If you want users to use regular Outlook clients from outside your network (besides POP or IMAP), then you will need to enable Outlook Anywhere.
