Helpdesk20
laptop so that he can take his laptop to a bar and check downloaded emails.
He check his emails through Remote Outlook Access but when he logs off no
emails on his local laptop to carry with him. Thinking to set up POP3 as
suggested, then what would be the pop3 or smtp address??

Install Outlook 2k3 and use RPC over HTTP. The instructions on how to setup
this are located on RWW (right pane).

Welcome to SBS newsgroup.
Issue description:
===============
I understand that you want to let your laptop user to download and check
the email at home.
Analyzing and suggestions:
===============
Generally speaking, we have many workaround for your issue; please refer to
my suggestion below:
1. Connect to SBS network via VPN then use outlook 2003 to connect to
Exchange 2003 server directly.
On SBS 2003, we can configure SBS 2003 to as a VPN server, we can use CEICW
wizard to configure SBS network first, then we need run Remote access
wizard to create a VPN package which can be used to connect to SBS through
VPN connection. For how to run CEICW, please refer to following KB article:
825763 How to configure Internet access in Windows Small Business Server
2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=825763
Please note that you need to select VPN in the firewall page when running
the CEICW wizard. This will open the port 1723 on SBS server, please also
enable the port 1723 and GRE protocol 47 on the router if you install it on
SBS domain.
Then you can run Remote Access Wizard to create a VPN packages, you can
either download it from RWW website or you can use Create a remote
connection disk to copy it to the disk and setup to the laptop via floppy
drivers.
After you establish VPN connection to SBS server then you can use your
outlook just as you used on the local network.
2. Connect Outlook 2003 to Exchange 2003 server via RPC over HTTP
We can also connect Outlook 2003 to Exchange 2003 server via RPC over HTTP
remotely, you do not need to buy any new hardware, you can just run CEICW
make sure that you have selected Outlook access via Internet on the Web
services selection pages. The wizard will automatically configure the
Exchange 2003 server to be an RPC server. You need also configure your
outlook, you can follow the steps on RWW website to configure your outlook
2003. (https://server public IP/remote) Then you can use outlook 2003
remotely to download emails and check it just as connect it on local
network.
You can refer to the KB article below for more detailed information:
833401 How to configure RPC over HTTP on a single server in Exchange Server
2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=833401
3. Set up your SBS 2003 as the POP3 server:
To set up SBS 2003 as a POP3 Server, you may want to enable and start the
Microsoft Exchange POP3 service. To do so:
1. On the SBS server, click Start, click Run, type "services.msc" and click
OK.
2. Locate the Microsoft Exchange POP3 service, right-click it and click
Properties.
3. Change "Startup type" from Disabled to Automatic.
4. Click Apply, click Start, and then click OK once the service starts.
5. Open Exchange Management console, and navigate to Server -> YourServer
-> Protocols -> POP3.
6. Right click the default POP3 virtual server and click Start
Make sure that you have also rerun CEICW to allow SBS open port 110 for
POP3 server, in this wizard choose "enable firewall". You get the 4 items
that are there by default. Click "add" and insert one called POP3 for
inbound port 110 and TCP. This will allow ISA or RRAS or open the inbound
port 110 for POP3 requests from the external clients.
Please note that this port should also be opened on the router, if you
installed it on SBS domain.
Then you can configure your outlook 2003 to receive the POP3 emails, please
note that your account and password is the same as you exchange account, we
only use POP3 protocol to receive emails.
You can configure your Outlook 2003 to receive POP3 emails, please note
that you select the "Logon using Secure Password Authentication" check box
when configure the account on outlook 2003.
Hope the above information helpful to your issue, please do not hesitate to
post back your results. I am glad to be of further assistance.
