Entourage and Exchange 2003 Using OWA url

[GLC0101]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: Exchange

I setup all Entourage users to use the OWA url for accessing their Exchange 2003 account.
This works great for the traveling laptop user, plus it is utilizing the secure https: address.

By utilizing the OWA url Entourage continues to sync. For the Mac towers that reside within the network, what would be the advised way to setup their Entourage accounts to communicate with the Exchange server? The reason that I set them up with the OWA url was so they could use the secure https...how can I set them up with an Exchange account and not loose any of that security?

Any insight would be much appreciated.

You can configure Entourage with the NetBIOS name of your Front End server
this way the traffic will not go out and comes back (saves your company's
bandwidth) and at the same time the communication will be on secure channel.
