set up outlook anywhere on office 2010 with exchange 2007

I am trying to set up outlook anywhere on my server and for my endusers. I setup the exchange tab to use the external host name of exmail.lltc.edu and basic authentication. I have a certificate of that name exmail.lltc.edu for our owa. Is there more to setting up the exchange than clicking on a tab and enabling it and added a host name? Will that work for this? When I try to configure my outlook to connect to the server from these settings I either a cannot find host name or the certificate does not match. Do I need to purchase a new certificate for this to work?

What other steps do I need to try in order to get this working? what am I missing? From the internet world my outlook cannot connect inside my network or see that name exmail.lltc.edu.

You want this to work internal as well as external?

have you had a DNS record created from your ISP for exchange.domain.com to an external IP address
You need to open port 80 or 443 traffic in the firewall if you want Outlook Web Access to work
have you installed RPC over HTTP on the server?

For the most part I would like to have people able to check their email from outlook when they are off campus without having to go to OWA. I have an outside dns record of exmail.lltc.edu. an external ip of 209.191.213.123 for that dns record.  A certificate for exmail.lltc.edu. I have port 80 open for web traffic and port 443 open of owa. Does it matter if its open for owa and not for outlook anywhere?

maybe I'm confused but what would be the address you would put in the outlook anywhere url? I put the exmail.lltc.edu and do I need to add anything else becasue of the https:// at the beginning of it? This is the address I try to put in on outlook. the exmail.lltc.edu. My domain internally is lltc.local. would this be the cause of the problem?

I have look over these tech libraries and did everything that was requested on them.

I have not tried the autodiscover one yet.
when setting up outlook 2010 you add the exchange account under more settings click on connection tab at the bottom check outlook anywhere click on exchange proxy enter the https://exmail.lltc.edu
Also go to https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com/ click on outlookanywhere enter you data and run the test. then Post results and we'll see what else needs done.

these are the errors I am getting from this when running inside my network. Should I be doing this outside of my network? I did this from my desktop at work. I don't know if I should be using the internal dns name of my exchange which is mail01.lltc.local or the same external name for https exmail.lltc.edu.
i have attached the checker info. I get green lights on everything else except for the end.



 outlook-errors.docx
you should use the exmail.lltc.edu this is what you will connect them with outside the network it will work either way.   When you run the test can you expand the whole list and click copy and post. When you run the test are you using autodiscover check box or manually specifiy the server settings?
In exchange management console under server config hub transport do you have a receive connector FQDN exmail.lltc.edu

I am using the manually check box. The autodiscover errors out right away.

Under hub transport I have receive connectors tab
client mail01 with FQDN mail01.lltc.local
default mail01 with FQDN mail01.lltc.local
reinjection with FQDN mail01.lltc.local
Scan2Email with FQDN exmail.lltc.edu

These are the receive connectors I have. Do I need to create one?

Th¿ RPCProxy component tries t¿ connect t¿ th¿ DSProxy component through port 6004 over TCP/IPv6. B¿t, th¿ DSProxy component ¿¿¿¿ n¿t listen ¿n th¿ TCP/IPv6 stack, wh¿¿h causes connection requests fr¿m th¿ RPCProxy component t¿ fail.

Perform th¿ following procedure:
 
1.Under Network Relations, select th¿ network adapter, ¿n¿ th¿n click Properties.

2.In th¿ properties window, click t¿ clear th¿ check box f¿r Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6).

once you have this done it recommends a reboot, then see if you can telnet local host : 6004

how do you telnet? I never tried that.
you can run the testexchangeconnectivity.com again or this is telnet
command prompt type telnet localhost 6004 see if it connects

I did my posted solution. I got all Ok's after taht on my microsoft check. I had to put mail01.lltc.local for my exchange server. In HTTPS i had to put exmail.lltc.edu in that section with basic authenication.

It would not sync with exchange still saying the same answer. Outlook cannot sync to exchange.

when adding the user name field under exchange server section I was putting my user name tim.johnson. It wanted the username of tim.johnson@lltc.edu instead. After I figured that out. It took my credentials and started syncing with exchange. I will check this from home now and hopefully I can get this working off campus.
