The user is working with is laptop onsite as a domain systeem/user and conect to exchange through the LAN.
On the road of at home is conecting to the company network through IPSEC VPN.
The VPN server is a ZyWall (Hardware) en the VPN client "TheGrenbowVPN v5.0(soft).
Everything is working perfekt behalve Outlook wich cannot conect to the server.
To test the conection I have tryied to add an Outlook mailbox to the systeem in VPN mode.
It was working when I have used the IP adres of the server in state of the NAME.
When I try to change the user account and conect to the server i get a big NO.
"Cannot establish a conection with the Exchange server..."
The idea is that after establishing a VPN connection the user can open outlook and use it pretty much as he does at his desk. I am not sure that rpc-https can be used through VPN so I ques that MAPI is used. Sure we can use Webmail but the customer demands the full Outlook functionality.

This is not what I had in mind bu I wil give it a try... let you guys now...
The advantage of configuring\using the "Outlook Anywhere" is
- we just need the port 443 enabled\opened at firewall and no need to worry about the other ports configurations @ the fireall or any other devices
> On contrast if we have the VPN..then we should be having a overhead of configuring the MAPI access across the devices.

From your description,
- Administrator Outlook profile is working fine
- Normal Outlook users profile is not working?
(what is the error message we are receiving?)
What is the details (screen-shot) @ the OUtlook connection-status window (Outlook @ system-tray; control-key and right=click)
