XCLN: How to Connect over the Internet to an Exchange Server

SUMMARY

Microsoft Exchange clients can connect to Microsoft Exchange Servers over the Internet via third party Internet Service Providers.

In order to connect from a client, you must:

• Have dial-in or direct connection to the Internet.
  
  
• Be validated by the Microsoft Exchange Server's NT domain in order to talk to Microsoft Exchange Server via RPCs. To verify this, clear the Use Network Security During Logon checkbox. This will require domain login credentials when you start the Microsoft Exchange client with this profile.
  
  
• Put the Microsoft Exchange Server name in the client's HOSTS file with IP address.
  
  
• Have the ability to ping the Microsoft Exchange Server by server name
