Hi Steve,
Thanks for posting here!
For your description, I understand that you want to configure RPC over
HTTPs in SBS environment. If I am off base, please don't hesitate to let me
know.
I. When you run CEICW, you need enable firewall and then the Services
Configuration page and the Web Services Configuration page will appear
later. In these pages, you can configure firewall to open related ports to
allow specific traffic transfer and publish some web services to internet.
Additionally, if your hardware router supports UPnP, this wizard will
automatically help you open related ports.
I would like to list the steps for your reference:
1. Expand Standard Management | To Do List.
2. Click Connect to the Internet in the right pane.
3. Navigate the wizard to Firewall and then select Enable firewall. In the
next page, make sure the E-mail item is checked in services configuration
page.
4. Click Next and then select Allow access to the following web site
services from the internet.
5. Make sure Outlook via the internet, Remote Web Workspace items are
selected and select any additional services, such as Outlook Web Access,
that you require. click Next.
6. On the Web Server Certificate page, select the Web server certificate
type, and then click Next. You can choose to either install a new Web
server certificate or locate a third-party certificate.
7. The wizard automatically configures Exchange, IIS, and the RPC proxy
registry entries.
I suggest you refer to KB 825763 to get more information about configure
SBS network connection:
825763 How to configure Internet access in Windows Small Business Server
2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=825763
And then domain users login their workstations, open the RWW site
(https://FQDN/remote) and Click the link for Outlook via Internet on the
right of the RWW homepage. Follow the instructions to configure the Outlook
client.
II. On the Outlook client, make sure it is Windows XP SP1 with the hotifx
331320 installed (or a later service pack).
Please refer to following KB article:
331320 Outlook 2003 Performs Slowly or Stops Responding When Connected to
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=331320
For more system requirement, please refer to the link:
http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/2003/three/ch8/OutC07.htm
III. Only the ports 80, 4125 and 443 are necessary, if you use RPC over
HTTPS, which is Microsoft recommended. You need to open these ports on all
routers and firewalls.
IV. Please confirm that the certificate used by HTTPS is using his external
FQDN of SBS Server instead of internal FQDN.
I suggest you read the following online article carefully to verify if the
RPC over HTTPs is set up correctly on your Exchange 2003 Server and the
required ports are opened on the firewall of your network.

Note: there are some different process to configure RPC over HTTPs in SBS
environment, the KB 833401 article does apply to this scenario.
