Via the Outlook Client using the VPN

  1. Install the VPN client.
  2. Login to the VPN with your UNIX username and password.
  3. Create an Outlook Profile.
    1. See How to Create an Exchange Profile in Outlook 2003.
    2. See How to Create an Exchange Profile in Outlook 2007
  4. Open Outlook to access your mailbox.

Via the Outlook Client without the VPN

Outlook Anywhere (RPC over HTTP) allows Faculty, Staff, and Students to use Microsoft Outlook 2003/2007 to connect to the  Exchange server from off-campus without the use of a VPN client.

Please see Outlook Anywhere for instructions on how to configure your Outlook profile off-campus use.

NOTE: After making this change you will need to authenticate every time you open Outlook, regardless of whether you are on- or off-campus, or if you are logging into the ADMIN or STUDENT domain.
