Exchange connectivity problem

M

Mike

I am having a strange situation.

I am using Outlook 2003 to connect to an Exchange 2007 server via a corporate VPN.

Outlook will say it is connected, sends and receive emails, display public folders, etc.

When I try to look at my rules, I get a dialog box stating that I need to be online in order to modify the rules. Same message when attempting to use the "out of Office assistant".

I tried to add a new profile and connect it to the same exchange server and it cannot resolve the server name.

I don't want to mess too much with the profile since it mostly works at the moment.

What is required to connect Outlook to Exchange via a VPN?
Are there certain ports that need to be opened?

Any insight would be appreciated.

No, there is nothing additional you'll need to do end-user side in terms of
network connectivity. Contact your corporate admin to verify if everything
has been configured correctly in their network. I would start looking at DNS
issues.
