Outlook Anywhere is the new name for RPC over HTTPS on Exchange 2007, and is significantly easier to configure. It is a simple two step process.
- Open the Exchange Management Console and expand Server Configuration, Client Access.
- Right click on the server that you wish to Enable Outlook Anywhere on, and choose "Enable Outlook Anywhere...". You can also select it from the Action Pane on the right.
- A single window wizard will start. You need to external the EXTERNAL host name that the server responds to. Ideally this should match the common name on the SSL certificate.
The authentication type can be set - the wizard only allows you to choose one or the other.
Basic Authentication will cause an authentication prompt every time the client connects.
NTLM Authentication will not cause an authentication prompt if the client is a member of the domain. - Allow secure channel (SSL) offloading is not enabled in most deployments. It is used when something else is providing the SSL connection, such as an appliance.
After making the selections, choose Enable.
- You will then get a Completion, which shows you the command that has been used to enable the feature.
- After approximately 15 minutes an entry will be made in the Application Event Viewer of the server indicating the feature has been configured.

You can find the identity by running the command
Outlook Anywhere with a Wildcard Certificate
