Exchange Server 2007 Outlook Anywhere configurations

With Outlook Anywhere, the Enterprise Vault Outlook Add-Ins contact an Enterprise Vault server directly. The Enterprise Vault client does not route requests to Enterprise Vault using an Exchange Server 2007 CAS computer. The Enterprise Vault OWA 2007 Extensions are not required on your Exchange Server to support Enterprise Vault access from Outlook Anywhere clients.

Example Outlook Anywhere and Exchange Server 2007 configuration

In Figure: Example Outlook Anywhere and Exchange Server 2007 configuration Outlook is configured for Outlook Anywhere, and the Enterprise Vault Outlook Add-Ins are enabled for RPC over HTTP connections.

The Enterprise Vault client contacts Enterprise Vault as follows:

With direct connections, all the Enterprise Vault servers that host the archives must be accessible to the internal and external clients. If you do not want to publish multiple Enterprise Vault servers to external clients, then you can use an Enterprise Vault server as a proxy server. A client connects to the Enterprise Vault proxy server, and the proxy server forwards the requests to the Enterprise Vault server that hosts the archive.

See Enterprise Vault proxy server configurations.

Detailed configuration instructions are given in the following section.

See Configuring Exchange Server 2007 Outlook Anywhere client access to Enterprise Vault.

If Outlook Anywhere users access the Exchange Servers through an ISA Server, you also need to configure the ISA Server for Enterprise Vault connections. The ISA server needs to publish the Enterprise Vault server URL for direct connections, or the URL for the Enterprise Vault proxy server.
