outlook anywhere question

2009-03-04 Thread Neil Standley
Hello all,

 

Trying to get OA on a Win2008 server w/ Exchange 2007 working.  

 

Here's the problem, when I only have port 443 forwarded to the Exchange
box I get prompted for user credentials but the login always fails, we
are using basic authentication for now.

However, when I open tcp port 135 also I am able to connect.

 

Is Outlook actually using MAPI instead of OA?  When I run netstat -pan
tcp on the exchange server I see my remote IP connected to 

Tcp 135 and Tcp 443 (there are actually 3 or 4 sessions on 443)

 

Everything I read says you should only have to open tcp 443 for it to
work.  This is of course in addition to installing the RPC over http
role and enabling OA in Exchange.

 

 

Thanks,

Neil

Make sure u have rpc over http installed under features for win2008. Make
sure client access in exch mgmt console is enabled for OA. Try using
domain\username to login.

If u internal to server like I think. Change outlook client setting in exch
proxy settings to use http on both fast/slow to force connection to https.

U can control+right outlook tray icon to get connection status window to see
how u doing.

HTH!
