Re: RPC over HTTPs - newbie question part 2

Because on the LAN it is NOT using RPC over HTTPS. It knows it has a fast
connection and connects normally without needing to use RPC over HTTPS.

Thanks - How do I make it have a GC Role - or is there a way around that?
I'm wondering why it works when I'm behind the firewall and not when I'm
outside the firewall.


The RPCDIag just gives me
servername Type Conn Status
---- Directory ----- Connecting
mail.widgets.com Referral ----- Connecting


Connecting - no interface or anything else until it eventually times out.

Yes you can set up RPC over HTTP on Exchange Standard. Microsoft has
outlined a procedure just for this
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;833401#9).

The server must also be in the Global Catalog Role in order for RPC
over HTTP to work.

And when you are authenticating you must type the username as
domain\username.

Also the check name function will not work unless you are on the
interal network. That's okay that it doesn't check if you are on an
external network.

Also if you go to the office11 (or office directory dependent on
version of Office) you can launch outlook as outlook /rpcdiag. This
will bring up a nifty window that show how outlook is getting its
information from the Exchange server. If it says tcp/ip then it is not
using RPC over HTTP. It must say HTTPS if it is using RPC over HTTP.

Hope that helps.
