Default Profiles in Outlook to Exchange

Hello to all,

Scenario:-

Main office - Windows 2003 server and client PCs
Remote office - Windows XP PC

I setup Outlook Web Access on the remote PC to connect to the Exchange
server at the main office which works fine. However, my Manager insists that
the users on the workgroup PC at the remote office, should connect to
Exchange at the main office using Outlook provided within office 2003 rather
than through OWA.

He has asked that I setup profiles in outlook in the control panel using the
'mail' applet, and users connect to Exchange this way.

My questions a-

(1) Can this be done remotely in the above scenario? It works locally at the
main office when testing this.

The reason for this was that users cannot access shared calendars and such
through OWA's limitations.

Question (2):-

When testing this on a PC at the main office which is not connected to the
domain (which is the same scenario as at the remote office), it worked fine.
Emails could be sent and recieved, the only problem was that when trying to
access shared calendars an error came up with:-

'connection to Microsoft Exchange Server is unavailable.....'

I wondered why this occured when I could access emails through outlook being
set up as described above. Remember that this second question relates to a PC
at the main office and not the remote office.

Many kind regards to all,

Jeff
