Hi Chris,

Yes you can, I have done it successfully between two SBS 2000 servers
both running Exchange, I literally just pointed outlook to the remote
server instead of the local one, all works well but is obviously
slightly slower.

I have ports 80 and 25 forwarded from the ADSL router to the external
network card on each server, aside from that all that I needed to do was
create the "in our case" permanent back to back VPN connection.

Once the connection is established and you can ping the remote server it
should all work, I used the Outlook mail setup wizard, told it to use
exchange for e-mail, entered the ip address of the exchange/SBS 2000
remote server, and then entered a user name which if all is well the
system will verify the user immediately, and away you go. 

I hope this helps but I will add that this may not be the accepted way
of achieving this aim, (for security and or operational reasons) if it
is not then I would welcome feedback to me.

Best regards to you and all at MsExchange.org

Rick Parsons.

Hi all,

Can someone tell me if it's possible to connect to a remote Exchange
Server over a VPN tunnel. If so, what ports would I need to open on the
firewall? Thanks
