 We're hosting a single email account for a loosely affiliated company on

 OWA to get his mail. He has a Blackberry connecting using BIS.

 He has Office 2007 on his PC and would like to import his Blackberry

 What's the easiest way to make this happen? Set up a local Outlook data

IIRC, RPC over HTTP will require certs for this lone user. I'd suggest
getting the PST local, importing from Outlook inside the firewall. Maybe
IMAP is he doesn't want to share. Ports open on the firewall, but no special
cer.

Thanks for the help.

I've been googling and reading since I posted and I'm thinking Outlook Anywhere 
is going to be the best fit. I've checked the server and it looks like the 
consultant installed the protocols and enabled Outlook Anywhere. We already 
have a cert configured for OWA, so that's not a big problem.

Now I just need a good, simple document on how to set up Outlook.

If the server has been setup correctly, you don't need to do anything.
Exchange 2007 has a feature called autodiscover, which should pick up the 
Outlook Anywhere settings automatically, even from outside your network (as 
that is what it is designed for).

It will try to use RPC to begin with, then fail over. However it does depend on 
how the user tried to configure it. If they entered the information manually, 
or guessed at the information, then it may not work.

You need to test whether autodiscover is working and also if Outlook Anywhere 
is functioning.
Setup a test account and then use the Exchange Test Connectivity site from 
Microsoft: https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com/

That will tell you if the two elements are working from outside your network or 
not.

I will bet you are on the right track and that if they had a quick consultant 
come in and setup Exchange they didn't spend any time on setting up the 
autodiscover service.

Great link though, I have never seen that and it's a great help for external

Thanks for the help.

I've been googling and reading since I posted and I'm thinking Outlook Anywhere 
is going to be the best fit. I've checked the server and it looks like the 
consultant installed the protocols and enabled Outlook Anywhere. We already 
have a cert configured for OWA, so that's not a big problem.

Now I just need a good, simple document on how to set up Outlook.

More googling...

Steve

IIRC, RPC over HTTP will require certs for this lone user. I'd suggest getting 
the PST local, importing from Outlook inside the firewall. Maybe IMAP is he 
doesn't want to share. Ports open on the firewall, but no special cer.

speed on E2007, but can't emagine that they would take that feature out.

This is probably an easy question, but I haven't played much with Office 2007 
and I'm still learning Exchange 2007.


We're hosting a single email account for a loosely affiliated company on our 
E2007 server. The lone user is outside of our facilities and he's using OWA to 
get his mail. He has a Blackberry connecting using BIS.

He has Office 2007 on his PC and would like to import his Blackberry contacts 
into Outlook. Apparently, he's set up his Outlook profile to connect to our 
server, but that's being blocked by the firewall and Outlook won't open.

What's the easiest way to make this happen? Set up a local Outlook data file on 
his PC? Poke a hole in the firewall to allow him to connect? Somehow import 
through OWA or BIS?

Thanks in advance,
Steve
