I'm trying to get Outlook Anywhere working. I have followed the directions in the Administrator's Companion for Microsoft Exchange. The setup is Outlook 2007 connecting to Exchange 2007. 1. Entered in the external host name. 'remote.test.com' (remote.test.com is also the address of my Remote web workplace. Does that matter?) 2. Click Check Name, but can't connect to exchange server. So i goto more Settings. 1. click 'connect using internet explorer's or a 3rd party dialer' 2. check connect to microsoft exchange using http 3. click on 'exchange proxy settings' 4. enter in 'remote.test.com/owa' And when i click ok it gives me an error "The proxy server you have specified is invalid. Correct it and try again". Now i'm stuck. Just to be sure I checked the ports on my server. 25, 80 and 443 are fine. Outlook Web Access works fine. I havn't bought any certificates. Other than the one that was automatically installed with sbs2008 and exchange. Any advice on where to look next?

The self-signed certificate is not supported for use with OutlookAnywhere or ExchangeActiveSynchttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb851554.aspx

hi,yes it is not supported but you can use it ;just look atthis ; Here is how you generate a self-signed certificate with Exchange Server 2007 to use for Outlook Anywhere on any of your Outlook 2007 client machines: 1. Open the Exchange Management Shell in Windows Server 2008. (You need to be logged in as a local Administrator and that Administrator needs to be a member of the Exchange Server Administrator group as well as the Exchange View-Only Administrators group in Active Directory. Make Administrator a member of those accounts and reboot for good measure.) 2. Run the following commands: New-ExchangeCertificate -PrivateKeyExportable $True -Services IMAP, POP, IIS, SMTP -SubjectName cn=[*SEE NOTE] *Note: this needs to be the exact name of the external domain you are going to use to access Outlook Anywhere. Enable-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint [THUMBPRINT FROM NEW CERT] Export-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint [THUMBPRINT FROM NEW CERT] -Path C:\Certificate.pfx -Password:(Get-Credential).password 3. Now you have a cert named Certificate.pfx sitting on C:\ on your Exchange Server. The cert is good for all of the basic Exchange 2007 services. Copy that file to any client machine you want to use to connect to Exchange Server 2007 using Outlook Anywhere. 4. Install the certificate on your client Windows machine by going to Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options > Content > Certificates > Trusted Root Certificate Authorities > Import. Grab the cert you generated on your server, accept the warning dialog, and the import is successful. 5. Run Mail from the control panel on the client machine. Add a new profile and setup an account to use an Exchange server. Type the LOCAL NAME of the Exchange server (mine was Server.home.local). Click on More Settings and navigate to the Connection tab. At the bottom of the Connection check the box next to Connect to Microsoft Exchange Using HTTP. Click on Exchange Proxy Settings. Type the name of your domain in the top URL box. Uncheck the next two boxes. Check the two boxes next to On fast networks and On slow networks. Set your Proxy authentication settings to use Basic Authentication. Click OK a bunch of times and you should be good to go! Please note that the self-signed certificate will expire after 1 year, so every year youll need to hop in and redo the above process.regarads,Reference : http://www.kirkouimet.com/blog/Mumin CICEK | Exchange - MVP | www.cozumpark.com | www.mumincicek.com
