Re: Outlook RPC over HTTP

Hi

Thanks for all your posts, from the top:

We dont have SP1 because it was an OEM install with a tiny 12gb partition
which is boarding on 3/4GB free and are worried that it will consume more
space. We are soon(ish) to install new SBS hardware and use this machine
(with more approprate partitioning) as a remote office machine. SP1 will be
installed on this then.

The certificate is installed (no red cross on certificate or warnings).

Principal Name For Proxy Server now as below but still no luck:
msstd:remote.ourdomain.co.uk

We actually have the machine connected over VPN when testing (also testing
whilst not connected over VPN) is this as good as on the LAN?

I have run the CEICW and verified that OL over the Internet is enabled.

Current situation: when connected to LAN over VPN I connect to exchange but
I think it is connecting over TCP/IP. When disconnected from VPN it
repeatedly prompts for the username / password (i enter Domain\Username and
pw) but does not connect.

Thanks
B

Hi

We have a SBS 2003 (no service pack),

Why not?

running Exchange 2k3 SP2, ISA
2000.
We are having problems configuring Outlook to Communicate with
Exchange over HTTP.

We have configured the subdomain Remote.OurDomain.co.uk to point to
our server, we have a server SSL certificate configured for
https://Remote.OurDomain.co.uk and our client has the reletive client
cert, the domain is in the Intranet Site List on the client and can
browse to OWA & remote web workplace.

So the user went to https://Remote.OurDomain.co.uk/remote or /exchange,
and then *installed* the certificate, right? Didn't just accept it?


I get the response "Forbidden: Read access is denied." when I goto
https://remote.ourdomain.co.uk/rpc which i hear is correct.

Nah.


I have configured Outlook as below:


Exchange Server: ourserver.ourdomain.local

That's good.

Username: my username

Exchange over the Internet Settings:
Checked : conect to my Exchagne mailbox using HTTP

Proxy Setttings:
URL: remote.ourdomain.co.uk
connect using ssl only: Checked
mutually authenticate the sesssion when connecting with SSL: checked
Principal Name For Proxy Server: msstd:publishing.MyDomain.local

Nope....this is the problem. That should be:
msstd:remote.ourdomain.co.uk



On Fast Networks... Checked
On Slow Networks... Checked

Proxy Auth: Basic Auth

That's all good.



When I open outlook i get prompted for my username & password a
number of times and then it says disconnected.

Any advice would be much appreciated

Try fixing the proxy & try again.



Thanks
B
