You might remember I reported nearlt 2 years ago that Windows 2003 Server R2 would include a technology that enabled users to access their files on the network, while they are outside of the corperate network, without using VPN. This technology would be based on the same technology as Outlook 2003 has now (RPC over Http).Unfourtunatly that feature has been dropped from R2 and postponed to Longhorn Server (2007)Now the Exchange team announced that in Exchange 12 there will be a feature that when your out of the office and an email is sent to you with a link to a file on a corperate server or to a intranetsite (Sharepoint) you will be able to access that file or site. This a great news! Ok it is not full filesharing, but if you keep emailing yourself links [:)] you might not need that. Also easy to access files posted on sharepoint sites.[Y]
Now it's a pity that more on this hasn't happened.
We use RPC over HTTP very frequently with most of our customers as it is can connect them securely to their network without running a VPN connector.
My sincere hope was that there would ultimately be a link to shared files on the server available through Outlook that would piggyback on the RPC connection.
