No, it doesn't have to be. But if you use the SRV record then Outlook
needs a hot-fix if it's not been updated with SP1.

If that's all working okay then you may be looking at a mismatch in
the authentication methods. How is the Exchange Proxy Settings
configured for authentication, and how is the web site configured? If
the web site uses only "backic" and Outlook uses NTLM (or vice-versa),
well, you'll have problems authenticating.

Outlook shows as SP2.
This is really going to spound stupid, but where can I check the
authentication settings?
SBS 2008 & Exchange 2007 are quite a bit different than 2003!

Good.

No, they're the same. What's different is the way that SBS deals with
managing it.

get-outlookanywhere is the cmdlet that will show you the
authentication settings. Pipe the out put into "fl".

If the users are getting Prompted for a password
remotely and they are not a member of the domain
(This is because there is no Cached credentials to use and you have to
create one)
I f you need instructions I'll try to find them.

If the Remote systems are laptops that are configured with http://connect
(They shouldn't have an issue because it sets all configuration for you.)
if they were joined manually, then go into your RPC over HTTPS Connect
settings and select NTLM Authentication instead of Basic and they won't be
prompted anymore


On the Certificate:
Do yourself a Favor buy at least a 3 year Cheapest GoDaddy Cert for
remote.yourdomain.com
And install it
http://sbs.seandaniel.com/2009/02/installing-godaddy-standard-ssl.html
(Those instructions are close enough because GoDaddy has changed.)

That should fix everything

Looks like you are getting good advice from Rich and I do believe too many
cooks can spoil, but since SBS is a somewhat unique beast, I'd like to jump
in.

Can you actually post your results from the testexchangeconnectivity
website? As Rich said, it actually provides quite a bit of detail, and
having a bit of experience setting this up with SBS, I think we can help get
you cleared up relatively quickly.
