Re: RPC over HTTP scenario

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Let me add that I think this can be done. I worked for HP on a contract to
support Microsoft's employees. One of the groups I worked in was the
messaging group. I remember all the steps about configuring the
client...but I don't ever remember having to install the certificate
manually through IE.

Did Microsoft just have a special trick to get this working?

Woohoo! I found that the issue was purely with the client. I missed the
minor step of installing the certificate from IE. Once that was done, a
connection was made successfully.

Thank you Ken, Les, and Crina for your help!

Now, one last question. Is there any way to make the certificate
installation happen automatically so that all that needs to be done is
configure Outlook to connect to the server? If not, I'll just document
the extra steps for the customer.

Thanks once again!

Hi Stephen,

Thank you for posting in SBS newsgroup.

From the description, I understand the issue to be: you can not configure
RPC over HTTP and receive error 0x8004011D. If I have misunderstood your
concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know.

As I know, you need to specify office.abcgc.com for the certificate when
you run CEICW. And then please follow the steps below to install RPC over
HTTP:

1. Open http://servername/remote on SBS and then click Configure Outlook
via the Internet.
2. Please closely follow the steps listed to configure the RPC over HTTP.

Hope it helps.

I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Crina Li (MSFT)

| I'm having some problems configuring a SBS 2003 server for RPC over
HTTP.
| Perhaps I'm missing something, or perhaps I have a scenario that's no
| described here.
|
| Let's say my customer is ABC General Contractors (fictional). They are
a
| small business. Here is their setup:
|
| Internet connection with a static IP address assigned to the WAN side
of
the
| firewall. --->
| WAN IP address has two names associated with it on the Internet,
| mail.abcgc.com and office.abcgc.com --->
| Server is named ABCSRV and has a private class IP address of
192.168.1.5.
| The internal domain is ALSO office.abcgc.com. Thus, the server's FQDN
is
| abcsrv.office.abcgc.com
|
| The firewall is setup to forward 443 and 80 to the server's internal IP
| address. Users can access OWA by using https://mail.abcgc.com/exchange
and
| https://office.abcgc.com/exchange and can successfully POP and use SMTP
| through those two addresses.
|
| When we try to connect Outlook to the server, we receive error
0x8004011D.
|
| One item that's throwing me off is when doing the Internet Connection
| Wizard, what should I specify for the certificate when it asks for the
full
| server name? Should it be abcsrv.office.abcgc.com or just
office.abcgc.com?
| Could that be where my problem lies?
|
| I have yet to find information on getting this configured when the
server
| has a private class IP. Any suggestions on where to start?
|
|
