Re: RPC over HTTP not configuring after Office 2007 SP2 install

Sounds like our configurations are similar as I am running Vista x64 w/ SP2 and Office 2007 SP2. I don't have this issue when configuring outlook profiles to connect to Exchange 2003 SP2 on Windows 2003 SP2. When things went wiggy with RPC under Outlook 2003 on Windows XP, one possible fix whas to uninstall/reinstall the networking components of the operating system. Have you tried resetting Vista's network configuration using NETSH?

Just in case you are not familiar with NETSH... open an elevated command prompt and type:

netsh winsock reset

I believe you will have to reboot after the above....

No such registry key exists. I can only confirm this on one computer though
(Vista SP2, Office 2007 SP2). This particular computer worked before Office
2007 SP2; as before, once I installed SP2, it still worked. When I tried to
tinker with my email settings - while debugging this issue - the
configuration broke and I'm no longer able to configure for RPC.
