Sync Outlook though VPN while sales rep are out of the office

Hi All,
Our sales reps and consultants are now using Outlook integration and they would like to sync it while they are out of the office through our VPN. Have you ever implemented a solution like this? is it actually possible in term of speed?
I'll really appreciate any help on this.
Best Regards
Hector

Hi Hector
Yes it is possible. The best option is to use terminal services (remote desktop), but then the outlook files need to reside on the server and this would require some configuration, preferably Active Directory. Alternatively you could use the local outlook to update across the VPN, but speed would be an issue if you don't have good bandwidth. SQL would have to be configured to allow remote connections across the VPN as well.
Kind regards
Peter Juby

    Have checked device sync settings and it is entire music library and their is plenty of space on ipod to accommodate - have restarted both itunes and the computer and disconnected and reconnected ipod to no avail.
    Running itunes on Window machine under W8.1 and ipod software is 1.12

    Thanks planb77. Your instructions worked but I had to do a little more than you stated. I did not realize that transferring files to a new computer was not enough. When the iPod synced I was told I needed to "authorize" my new computer to get my iTunes purchases to sync to the iPod. So after the initial sync, I ejected and disconnected the iPod, went into the iTunes store, set up "home sharing" and then authorized the new computer. When that was done I reconnected the iPod and was able to sync all my books and music. The only thing I couldn't do was rename the iPod as iTunes never asked me to. Is there a way to rename it after it has been set by iTunes as "owner's iPod"?

  • "Sync encountered an error while connecting: Failed to connect to the server. Please try again."

    "Sync encountered an error while connecting: Failed to connect to the server. Please try again." message has appeared on both my desktop (OS 10.6.8, FF 6.0.2) and laptop (same).
    This error is not covered in your help documentation.
    I have an active internet connection.
    I have tried resetting the Sync on the laptop several times over the last few weeks.
    Please advise.

  • Why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal

    why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal.

    Not sure of what? In your second response you said the issue was with airplay. You were also having issues connecting laptop to computer, which points to a laptop connectivity issue. I simply asked if home sharing was an issue as well, since that will confirm the laptop as the cause. Your response that home sharing is on doesn't really help since that doesn't itself have a bearing on airplay nor does it answer the question in regards to if home sharing is working on Apple TV
    If you have a further question you will need to be specific.

    Hi,
    Sometimes the server is not available and you can get an error like this one. Usually it works if you try to sync later. If this doesn't work, take a look to [https://philikon.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/how-to-file-a-good-sync-bug/ this post] to learn how to report a bug.

  • Problem using Outlook Anywhere out of the office

    Hello,
    I have a problem getting my Microsoft Outlook (2007) to connect to my Exchange Server when i'm out of the office local network.
    outlook Anywhere is enabled on the server, and everything is set correctly on the client.
    I have ran outlook connectivity analyzer tool and this is what I got.
    Testing RPC/HTTP connectivity.
      The RPC/HTTP test failed.
    Additional Details
      Elapsed Time: 777 ms.
    Test Steps
    Attempting to resolve the host name mail.DOMAIN in DNS.
      The host name resolved successfully.
    Additional Details
    IP addresses returned: IPP ADDRESS
    Elapsed Time: 14 ms.
    Testing TCP port 443 on host mail.DOMAIN to ensure it's listening and open.
      The port was opened successfully.
    Additional Details
      Elapsed Time: 253 ms.
    Testing the SSL certificate to make sure it's valid.
      The SSL certificate failed one or more certificate validation checks.
    Additional Details
      Elapsed Time: 508 ms.
    Test Steps
    The Microsoft Connectivity Analyzer is attempting to obtain the SSL certificate from remote server mail.DOMAIN on port 443.
      The Microsoft Connectivity Analyzer wasn't able to obtain the remote SSL certificate.
    Additional Details
    The certificate couldn't be validated because SSL negotiation wasn't successful. This could have occurred as a result of a network error or because of a problem with the certificate installation.
    Elapsed Time: 472 ms.
    I am sure we have a SSL certificate installed "one generated locally which means not one that's been bought", but it shows errors about being expired only when I'm at the office "local network", now that i'm out of the office i don't even
    get the error anymore nor the login popup window and connectivity status to exchange server is "Disconnect"
    how can I fix this? where to obtain an SSL, assuming that's why I'm unable to connect to exchange server.
    could it be my Microsoft exchange proxy settings? I'm using mail.domain and msstd:mail.domain and basic authentication "exactly like in the exchange server settings"
    -I'm able to connect to exchange on my iPhone/Android successfully.
    Thank you in advance

    *i have tried uploading an image but i get this message, though I haven't received any confirmation email.
    Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account.

    You must have a properly installed cert issued from a trusted CA for Outlook Anywhere to work.
    The phone devices you mention historically have not done a good job of certificate validation which is why they connect but Outlook and Windows will verify that the cert is who it claims to be.
    Read this:
    http://exchangepedia.com/2007/08/outlook-anywhere-and-exchanges-self-signed-certificate.html
    And follow the link in it to obtain a  cert from a trusted CA.

    How do I set up an automatic out of the office reply while I'm on vacation?

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access web mail, you need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

    When I copy a CD onto my macbook pro I sometimes get several songs that are "out" of the album.  How do I get them all together in one album?  Any help will be much appreciated as I cannot seem to find the solution to this problem in the troubleshooting section of iTunes.

    Generally all you need do is give tracks from the same album a common Album Artist. See Grouping tracks into albums. The images need an update but the basic info. still holds.

  • Flash animations are out of the flash window limit ...

    When I place a flash animation in power point using breeze
    presenter, and I publish the presentation it is possible to see the
    animations that are out of the flash window limit …
    What can I do to make the breeze respect the flash limits and
    hide the animations outside those limits?
    Thanks!

    Just out of curiosity....is it possible that you've got
    elements in flash that begin OFF the flash stage and then animate
    ONTO it?
    There was a *funky* artifact of creating flash animations
    that played very strangely when imported into Breeze; there was a
    tech note about this, but I haven't found it recently. If your
    flash animation *must* be 200 x 200, then what I'd try is this:
    In flash, create a mask layer and be sure to have all other
    layers become masked by it. I realize that without seeing your
    animation, that it's probably "easier said than done"... However,
    the thing to note here is that by masking the stage in flash (and
    thus all the elements animated within it), you'll effectively kill
    the visibility of all visual elements that are off the stage.
    For what it's worth, I'd be happy to assist if you need
    further help. Just drop me a note using the private message
    function, or email me at [email protected]

  • Outlook 2013 will not connect to specific networks outside the office

    Outlook 2013.  I can connect to any Wi-Fi network I have attempted...but Outlook 2013 will not connect to my home network.  I have tried clearing the dns cache as well as re-creating the account.  Outlook works fine at the office, fine at
    hotels, fine at restaurants, but won't connect at my house using either a wired or Wi-Fi connection.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi
    As per the information and details provided by you, to connect the Outlook 2013 from outside the office, please follow these steps: -
    This is usually the result of authentication issues. In order to prevent strangers from using their
    SMTP server to send spam, many ISPs require users to authenticate when they try to send email while accessing the server from outside the network. In many cases, users will also need to use a different
    port number and may need to use SSL.
    To check or change the outgoing server authentication, you need to open the
    Account setting dialog. In Outlook 2013, this is on the
    File tab.
    Click on the email account, then click the
    More Settings dialog and select the Outgoing server tab to check the authentication settings.
    Enable
    My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication and select
    Use the same settings as my incoming mail server. These settings will often work both at home and when travelling.
    You will also want to check the port and
    SSL settings on the Advanced tab. Commonly used port number are
    587, 465, and 1025 but if these don’t work, you will need to check your mail providers support pages for the correct port number. You may also need to select
    SSL or Auto for encrypted connections, again, this information should be on your mail providers support website.
    Note: - Once you make these changes, you should be able to send email from home.
    I hope this information will be helpful for you.
    Thanks and regards

  • I have OSX Maverick on an iMac using Outlook e-mail.  PDF attachments are included in the e-mail  as the whole document rather than just the PDF icon.  How can i have just the PDF icon as an attachment?

    In Outlook my PDF attachments appear as whole documents and not just the PDF icon.  How can I have attachments included as PDF icons and not the documents?

    For your own viewing, you can of course control-click on the attachment and select "View as Icon".
    For others' viewing, it depends upon their email reader.  To ensure that attachments are not displayed expicitly you can put them all in a zip file (via control click and "Compress") then attaching them, or you can use third party stuff like Attachment Tamer.
