Specifying the Home Server

To connect to a Microsoft Exchange Server computer remotely over the Internet, a client must use the server's FQDN. This is because the server name must be in a format that can be resolved over the Internet. Instead of connecting to a server using its computer name (also called a NetBIOS name) as the client on a LAN does, you must specify a name such as server1.acme.com. If the server name is not registered in DNS, you can specify the IP address instead.

    To specify the home server name

1. In Control Panel, double-click the Mail icon, and then select the Services tab.
2. Select Microsoft Exchange Server, and then choose Properties.
3. Under Microsoft Exchange Server, type the name of the server that contains the mailbox you want to use.
4. Choose OK.
