Configure an External Host Name for Outlook Anywhere

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2

You can create an external host name for Outlook Anywhere on a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Client Access server.

If you manage more than one Exchange site, we recommend that you create separate external host names for each site that has a Client Access server that's enabled for Outlook Anywhere. When you create a separate external host name for each site, Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 clients automatically use the Client Access server that's closest to their mailbox.

Note

Users who are using Outlook 2003 must have their profiles manually updated to use the external host name that is closest to their mailbox.
