Exchange 2010 – Outlook for MAC

25. February 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,

Hello,

We have two Exchange 2010 servers each in a different data center, active/passive.  I have a CAS configured and the Windows outlook clients auto discover the CAS just fine.  Also when I fail over between servers the Windows Outlook clients fail over just fine.  My issue is with the Outlook for Mac clients, they don't automatically follow the fail over between servers.  When I check the settings I see the actually Exchange server name and not the CAS name like I see on the Windows Outlook clients.  Does anyone have some ideas on what might be causing this issue?

Thank you,

Disable remote Outlook 2011 access?

We do not allow for Corporate emails to be downloaded to PCs/Macs outside of the building. This is the default for Windows/Outlook (i.e. you have to explicitly enable RPC/HTTP, Outlook Anywhere, etc to enable external Outlook clients). It appears that Outlook 2011/Mac circumvents these controls (presumably since it works through OWA) and allows external users to connect to and download local copies of Corporate emails.

I want to prohibit this behavior while still allowing internal Mac Outlook 2011 clients to connect.

It doesn't look like Outlook 2011 uses ActiveSync technologies like phones do so I don't think I can set up restrictions there.

Suggestions?
