Configuring Outlook Anywhere for

Exchange 2007
This document will help you to configuring Outlook to connect to our Microsoft
Exchange 2007 server remotely. The first step is to go to Control Panel and double
click on ‘Mail’. (Figure 1)

Figure 1

After double clicking ‘Mail’, there are three options to choose from. If this is the first
time you are setting up an account in Outlook 2007, choose ‘E-mail Accounts’. If
you already have an email account setup for use with Outlook, then select ‘Profiles.’

Now you are ready to use Outlook. When you open Outlook for the first time, you
will be required to login. You must use domainname\username in the ‘User name’
box in order to successfully establish a connection to the Exchange server. (Figure
21)

Figure 21

You should be successfully connected to the Exchange server with Outlook. The
next steps are not important but are good for troubleshooting or validating the
connection.

Validation:
Now that we have installed all the components we need to do some testing to
validate we have access to our mail.

Check Outlook connection status:

1. Log onto Outlook.
2. In the System tray hold the CTRL key and right click the Outlook icon.
3. Select connection status.
