    Let me rephrase,

    If I want to set it up at home without coming into the office I would need a VPN.

    I will have to bring it in so it can see the exchange server as I cant see it out of the LAN ...

    Hope im making sense :P

    Once I have seen the server I can then take it home and use it there.

    I.E I cannot setup an exchange account from home without a VPN. If I dont have a VPn I would need to be inside the network to set it up.

    Hope im making sense :P

    It does make sense

    You should be able to setup the exchange account from home using an external address for the exchange server. This address would most likely be the OWA address (provided RPC over HTTP has been enabled)

    Hi,

    That is exactly what I having been trying to do but it doesnt want to resolve ...

    I can log into OWA and check my mail there so I dont see why it doesnt work.

    and according to the techs... is RPC over HTTP enabled on the exchange server?

    Perhpas taking into the LAN and configuring the exchange account will get around this issue, and then enabling RPC on the account afterwards.

    I know you can configure an account as you have tried to do, as a client of mine has remote offices without VPN; just terminal server and local outlook connecting to exchange over HTTP.

    Confirm with techs? Otherwise get them to forward an unused port to RDP into your work computer from home instead?

    Cider, just a thought but do you have an autodiscover record in your dns zone that points to the exchange server? PING autodiscover.yourdomain.com, org or whatever and it should return the public ip of your mail server.
