Oliver, When you try to connect, if you hold down the Ctrl key and right click the Outlook icon on the system tray, select Connection Status. There you will see what is connecting and what is not. You will need to make sure that you can connect to a GC server/DC and that the ports for both are open in your firewall. There is a KB article on how to setup RPC over HTTP but I cannot recall the number.

I've installed RPC over HTTP on the server, I've enabled Outlook Anywhere in Exchange 2007, I've set up a self signed cert for the external name, and opened up port 443. When I set the the outlook clients up it just reports 'disconnected'. On the outlook end I've set it up the same way I would when using SBS or Exchange 2003. Everything *looks* ok on the server end. There's nothing apparent in either set of event logs. I guess I have two questions. Firstly, are there any logs somewhere I can check to see whats failing? Also, does 'outlook anywhere' *require* a cert to be used from a valid cert authority or should I be able to just install the self cert on each of the client machines for it to work ?
