How does one pass Outlook Anywhere settings from the Exchange server to Outlook clients

Exchange 2010 server. Outlook 2007 clients.

I have Outlook Anywhere enabled on the server.

If I have a laptop connected to an outside internet connection not on our corporate LAN and manually configure Outlook Anywhere, it works and I am able to connect to our Exchange server.

As soon as the laptop is brought into our network / domain, the incorrect Outlook Anywhere settings are pushed from the server to the client and Outlook Anywhere breaks.

Here are what the working settings look like:

Here are what the wrong settings that get pushed from the Exchange server look like:

SERVERNAME being the hostname of our Exchange 2010 server.

Any points in the right direction?

Outlook Anywhere can be tricky. One of the better resources for this is a site Microsoft runs that checks it from the outside.

Use credentials you don't mind getting out. Or a test account.

Outlook Anywhere also has different contexts for 'inside' and 'outside' as you're learning.

Set-ClientAccessServer -Identity CAServer -AutoDiscoverServiceInternalURI https://mail.company.com/

That sets what internal clients see.
