Problems with Frontend server and exchange

Jef · Joined: 21 Jan 2008 Posts: 9

I have setup a frontend server and can login via a web browser and
everything works fine. I then open up outlook and change it to my frontend
server and then open outlook and it works fine. I then close outlook and go
into control panel and look in the properties and it has changed the server
from frontend to the backend server. Why has that happened, i was expecting
my outlook client to always say the name of the frontend server.

How do i fix this problem

Hi,

If Outlook is configured to use MAPI it will always connect to the backend
server. If you configure Outlook to use RPC over HTTPS it can use the fe
server.
