Exchange 2010. Server name keeps defaulting to domain.local vs web address

exchange-2010microsoft-office-2010windows-server-2008

under Account settings/Server on office 2010 (exchange 2010 as well) its defaulting to system.domain.local instead of the web address for our exchange server. This is causing connectivity issues when people are out of the office and off our internal network.
You can manually change the server from the .local to the external web address but it changes itself back.

Do you know where this setting would be to change it so the default is always the web address? For the internal network we have an internal DNS rule that will connect them to the server if they are here so there wouldnt be any issue if it never defaulted back to .local.

Main exchange server's OS is server 2008 ent R2

Thanks for looking at this!
