>> 3. Start outlook with the /rpcdiag switch, does that provide any
direction?
>>
>> 4. On the SBS server, verify if it trusts the certificate:
>>
>> A. Open Internet Explorer, and then in the address bar type:
>> https://publishing.yourdomain.local/remote
>>
>> B. If the certificate is not trusted, a warning popup appears. Click
View
>> Certificate, click Install Certificate, and then follow the instructions.
>>
>> 5. On the SBS server, open IIS Manager, expand your server\Web Service
>> Extensions, is RPC Proxy Server Extension allowed? If so, double-click
it,
>> check if it is using "C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcproxy\rpcproxy.dll". If it
is

Run
