Re: Outlook won't connect locally when configured for HTTP

Hi,

How did you configure your outlook profile? I'm assuming Exchange Proxy
points to FQDN, so firewall refuses internal RPV-OVER-HTTP connection
because network loop.

You can create another Primary zone on the SBS Server for published FQDN,
for instance: your published FQDN is: mail.company.com, create a Primary
zone: company.com, and create an A record point to mail.company.com, the IP
address is your exchange server. After that, the internal user can bypass
to connect the external DNS server.

Hope the above helps! If you have any further question or concern on this
issue, please don't hesitate to post back.

| Hi Robert,
|
| Thanks for your detailed feedback.
|
| Sorry my misunderstanding on this issue. Based on my research, after you
| enable RPC OVER HTTP feature on client, whether you checked "On fast
| networks, connect using HTTP first, then connect using TCP/IP" checkmark
| outlook would try RPC OVER HTTPS first. Also I think you have found the
| root cause, the firewall block the https connections from internal.
|
| As a workaround, you are able to create another profile for your boss,
one
| for internal, using TCP/IP connection, one for External enable
| RPC-OVER-HTTP.
|
| Regarding how to create Outlook profile, you can refer to following
| Microsoft article:
|
| How to create a new e-mail profile in Outlook 2003
| http://support.microsoft.com/?id=829918
|
| Note: select "Prompt for a profile to be used" option to manually choose
| Outlook profile.
|
| Hope this helps, if you have any other concerns please feel free to let
me
| know.
|
| Have a nice day!

| | Chace,
| |
| | Thank you for your interest in helping me solve this problem. My boss,
| and
| | the laptop in question, just returned from a vacation so I can try
| trouble
| | shooting again.
| |
| | I think you slightly misunderstood my issue. When the computer is not
on
| | the lan it connects via RPC over HTTPS perfectly. When the computer is
| on
| | the lan it tries to make an RPC over HTTPS connection first whether the
| box
| | for "On fast networks, connect using HTTP first, then connect using
| TCP/IP"
| | is checked or unchecked. I have tried both. When it tries to make the
| | HTTPS connection it fails because our firewall won't allow an internal
| | computer to connect to our network by going out to the internet service
| | provider and back to our network. This means that the connection will
| not
| | be successful. Eventually the connection tries are exhausted and it
| makes a
| | connection via TCP/IP. It works, but it takes 15 or so minutes to go
| | through the process. This means that it takes a long time from when he
| | starts up the laptop until he can actually start working. It was
working
| | perfectly until a couple of months ago. Then it started the process I
| have
| | described above.
| |
| | I have tried deleting the mail profile and that has not had and effect.

| I
| | have verified the setup, it all looks correct and it functions
perfectly
| | when not on the lan. I have verified the certificate trust and it
works
| | properly also. I am not able right now to check the
| | https://company.com/rpc/ page as I have to get the laptop off our
| network.
| | I don't think this will be the issue because remote connections have
been
| | working flawlessly. If it could be a problem even though the remote
| | connection is working please let me know and I will take the laptop to
a
| | remote location and try the connection to https://company.com/rpc/.
| |
| | Thank you,
| | Robert
