Hello to all I have an Exchange 2007 box (all roles on a single box, fresh install, just testing for now), a DC and an Forefront TMG; On the DC I installed the CA, and on F-TMG I published OWA and it's working great (off course I've imported the root certificate on the external client witch is not part of the domain); For the second step I tried publish Outlook Anywhere and it failed; I've read allot of tutorials over the internet and looks like none it's working for me. i took the online exchange test and failed at the RPC over HTTP test saying that "Testing of this potential Autodiscover URL failed.", and I have some certificate errors, but does are expected since I have an internal CA certificate. Now something that made me curious, I took the AutoDiscovery test (skiped the certificate test) and everything was ok, even the autodiscovery url was retrieved from IIS, so how come on the RPC test failed ? I thought it's something with the TMG rule so I replaced TMG with an RRAS server and did a simple port forwarding, OWA works great but not Outlook Anywhere (The connection to Microsoft Exchange is not available. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action); so it's definitely form Exchange, but I kan't figure out what it is, and the connection breakes when the client (outlook) tries to log on to the server.
When you are using an internal CA, you must install the root certificate on any external machine that will connect to an exchange mailbox using OWA or Outlook AnyWhere. If the machine that is external is already a domain-joined machine and has connected to the domain network after the CA was deployed, Active Directory automatically pushes the root certificates onto the machine. This is why a public certificate is recommended (to avoid deploying your internal CA root certificate to machines that are not joined to your domain).

Done that; Anyway if I install Exchange with every role on different server it's working from first shoot; Something happens when I install Exchange with all roles on a single box resulting in no Outlook Anywhere for workgroup clients. === ok I got this working, I had to edit the host file on the Exchange server providing the fqdn and netbios name of the exchange server; It's all working good now
Thanks for your help

My ms outlook emails are very numerous. But yesterday evening I lost almost all of them. I started seeking for a tool, which would resolve my question. It was rapidly found out. Such tool might be use for any other difficult situation - corrupted pst files.
