How to configure server 2008 to not lookup email adres locally but to the hosted exchange on the Internet

Hi all,

I have a 2008 server with Exchange and 10 mailboxes. The mailboxes are moved to Hosted Exchange so I need to reconfigure Outlook. Hosted Exchange works with autodiscover, but Outlook defaults to de local server and not to Internet, so it configures the mailadres which I do now want to use (local). I do not yet want to remove the local adresses because off fallback and backup.

How do I configure server 2008 so that the Outlook client checks the autodiscover through the Internet?

Hi Suliman,

that is not the solution I seek, time and again I would need to bother users while I am making changes when adding a new hosted exchange user. Also I work through Teamviewer remote, so I will lose connection. I need to disable the local seek for mailadresses.

This is a shared hosting and it is better to have emails going through Local Exchange servers than connecting local server over internet (you are loosing MS Exchange advantage be seeking solution otherway).

Following articles are talking about Exchange 2007, please let us know if other Exchange Version you are using.
