RWA SBS2011 Configuration
Hi, we are going to migrate from SBS2003 to SBS2011. Our existing server is configured as a myserver.mydomain.local and our active sync has been setup to look at our servers fixed public IP for iphone connection.
I notcied from looking at the SBS2011 RWA configuration that the server should be accessed from a remote.ourdomain.org.uk.
Should our new server be configured in such a way that we remove the .local and have our MX records point to our ip / domain in order to use the remote.ourdomain.org.uk url.
As you can tell form the question i am a bit of a novice, but thanks to the help on here i have kept out existing sbs2003 server running well as i always get there in the end.
A point in the right direction would be good.
Thanks
David.

Hi Simon, Thanks for coming back to me.
I used MXtoolbox and got the following.
1 ourdomain.org.uk.mail.eo.o
10 ibmr.btconnect.com 213.123.20.92
None of which are our Static IP Addressed. We have 5.
Do I ask my ISP (BT) to have our server ip added?. If so what Pref should it be?. We use bt's outlook 365 which forwards all mail to catchall and then downloaded via a POP3 connection in exchange.

Thanks again Simon. I will ask my ISP to update our MX Records to point to my IP. We have used the same IP for years and no BlackList problems - so far.

Hi, Quick question.
Do I need a mail.mydomain.org.uk and remote.mydomain.org.uk mx record to have emails transport direct to my server and be able to use RWL.

brilliant, thanks simon.
Yes, you should have a host name of remote.example.com pointing to your external IP address. Then get a trusted SSL certificate for remote.example.com and have that on the server. All clients would then use remote.example.com as their URL for accessing OWA, ActiveSync, Outlook Anywhere and RWW.
