How To: Configure Exchange Server 2007 for Outlook Anywhere

As we all know, outlook anywhere enables us to connect with Exchange Server 2007 via the Internet. To use Outlook Anywhere, we need to connect to the system from a computer which has at least Windows XP SP2 and outlook 2003. Outlook Anywhere also requires Client Access Role to be installed on the Exchange Server.

There are 3 tasks to perform, to enable use of Outlook Anywhere:

1. Enable Outlook Anywhere on Exchange Server.
2. Configure Outlook for users on LAN.
3. Configure Outlook for users working from remote locations.

We can enable Outlook Anywhere either using Exchange Management Console (EMC) or Exchange Management Shell (EMS) on Exchange Server 2007.

a) Steps to enable Outlook Anywhere using EMC:

Step1: Click on Start -> click Exchange Management Console (EMC) -> Expand Server Configuration -> Select Client Access (to view the list of Servers).

Step2: Select the Server (on which you want to enable Outlook Anywhere) -> Click Enable Outlook Anywhere in Actions Pane.

Step3: When the wizard opens -> it prompts you to type the name which we will use to connect to the server and select the authentication type. Type host name (for eg: mail.microsoft.com) and select the authentication method (For eg: Basic Authentication or NTLM Authentication) and click "Enable".

Step4: then Wizard will prompt you to click on finish as Outlook Anywhere is successfully enabled. Click on Finish.

The server is now enabled to support Outlook Anywhere. To verify, check in client access pane of EMC you will see that "Outlook Anywhere enabled" option is set to "True". So, that means we have successfully enabled the Outlook Anywhere option on Exchange Server 2007.

b) Steps to enable Outlook Anywhere using EMS:

Steps: Click on Start -> click Exchange Management Shell (EMS) -> type the below cmdlet

[PS] C:\Administrator> Enable-OutlookAnywhere -Server: 'Server name' -ExternalHostName: 'ExternalHostName' -ExternalAuthenticationMethod: 'Basic' -SSLOffloading: $false

NOTE: SSLOffloading specifies whether secure channel offloading is allowed. In the above example, we do not want to enable SSLoffloading.

You can fill in the above cmdlet as per your requirement.
