I am looking into enable outlook anywhere. And have a few questions:
After enbaled the Outlook anywhere -
1. Can clients access shared network drives without enthenticating with VPN?
2. If client sign-on network via VPN, will there be an issue using Outlook
2007 that were configured as outlook anywhere? - Some users might still
sign-on VPN first, then go to outlook if they forgot..
3. Any instruction on how to configure exchange proxy on outlook 2007?
4. Can exchange proxy be configured via group policy? Will there be issue if
we have outlook 2007/2003/2000 in the same OU and we apply the same policy -
if plocy is available?

1. Outlook Anywhere does not provide file share access.
2. I don't know why clients would not work when connecting internally,
which is basically what a VPN does, when they can connect from an external
network.
3 & 4. What is "exchange proxy"?

The exchange proxy ssettings that I referred to is for the outlook:
Account settings - MS exchange settings - more settings- connection - check
connect to microsoft exchnage using http - click "exchnage proxi settings" -
connection settings - it asks for proxy server for exchange - it it something
on exchange server I need to add? Hope there is article guide me to go
through each of those sessions.
So the Outlook anywhere will still work while client PC is connecting to
VPN(for sharefolder access), am I correct?
Thanks.

The Exchange Proxy Settings are how you configure Outlook Anywhere (Exchange
2007) or HTTPS-over-RPC (Exchange 2003). This is not set up automatically,
so yes, you must configure it. The Exchange 2007 Documentation is a good
place to start for how to configure it:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123513(EXCHG.80).aspx, or
you're welcome to google "Configure Outlook Anywhere".
