How are you guys dealing with Internet users??? 1

[LedZepRock]

Hi

We have VPN but to be honest its a pain, I beleave you can get Exchange to allow HTTP access (maybe via IIS) when users just connect to the internet, so like Hotmail really, but viewing there Exchange mailbox.
Anybody using this?? I am really just looking for any information so I can look at getting this put in place.

Any help would be great.

Yes, there is something like hotmail for exhange, this is OWA or Outlook Web Access.
It can be installed through the setup of Exchange, it works with IIS.

Rathcoffey, you have problems with this also?
Can you be more specific about your problems?
What can you do and what cannot be done?

 

[LedZepRock]

OK

Thanks for the information Gruttepier, yep I have installed the extra program. IIS is running and all looks good.

Trouble is I can't find any information on how to get this working from here, if I do a http:\\<internal IP> I get the standard Page under constrction, what else do I have to do? Do I need to configure something in Exchange to fire this into life.

When any user trys to log in, an error appears &quot;Internal Error. Failed to create MAPI.session&quot;

As I have only started in this company recently, Im not sure whether the service was disabled or not.......

Im lost??!!??

I understand that you use Mozilla? Have you tried it with IE?

 

[LedZepRock]

Nope, I see in the error it has said Mozilla, but I am using IE6, not Mozilla

[gruttepier]

Very strange,

have you reinstalled the OWA component on this server, and have you applied all sp's?

 

[rathcoffey]

It did work but was disabled I have just learned........
