Why not just collect the emails via Exchange as you have done, and then collect them using the POP3 service against your Exchange server from OTRS. Just make sure POP3 is enabled on your Exchange box. You can test this by doing a telnet to port 110 from any client on your network to your exchange server. If you get a prompt, the POP3 service is running. If the connection times out, you will need to enable POP3 and start it.
I haven't installed OTRS on windows so I don't know if it creates any default scheduled jobs or not. But if there is no scheduled jobs, you will need to add the postmaster.pl script as a scheduled job at whatever interval you need. This is done using the Scheduled tasks icon from the Control Panel.
