It's now possible to control access to your Microsoft Exchange Server infrastructure at a very granular level. A myriad of features exist, some of which restrict access and some of which increase accessibility options. The following list details some of the more common connectivity enhancements that Cheddon Consulting are asked to configure.

Connectivity expertise from Cheddon Consulting

Outlook Web Access . 80% of the graphical user interface has been rewritten to make OWA over 60% faster than previous versions. Forms Based Authentication uses time sensitive cookies to increase security and mitigates against the "cancel/refresh" authentication re-play issue that previous versions were prone to. We can help customize Outlook Web Access to suit your needs.

Outlook Mobile Access . With OMA you can provide simple no frills mailbox access from a mobile browser.

Microsoft ActiveSync. Stay up to date using Always Up To Date (AUTD) notification or Service Pack 2 Direct Push technology for e-mail to your smart phone on the move.

RPC over HTTPS. The Windows Server RPC over HTTPS proxy service can be leveraged by Outlook to allow full native MAPI mailbox access over the Internet without any requirement to provide a remote access or VPN solution to your staff.

RPC Static Port Mapping . With Outlook and Exchange Server it is possible to statically define the TCP ports RPC allocates for Directory and Information Store access. In a highly secure configuration it is only necessary to allow three static TCP ports access to the Exchange server infrastructure, a dramatically reduction over native RPC.

Client Selectivity. Access to Microsoft Exchange Server can be restricted on a user or client version specific basis . You can allow access only to standard or supported versions of Outlook within your organisation.

POP3, IMAP4, NNTP. All available if required but disabled by default in keeping with the SD3 framework.
