Little confusing, if it is Outlook that you want to use, then OWA is the way to go. &nbsp;If Exchange remotely outside your network, you will need to NAT the exchange server to a public IP you own and then via your ISP setup a DNS so that you can have them log using anyname you want.

I agree with olifarago, RPC over HTTP is the correct way to do this. Either that, or get the users to connect via a VPN before attempting to open Outlook. Microsoft does come with VPN capabilities out of the box.<br />

Exchange server outside access

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.

Email Servers

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
