| Hi Chase,
|
| I am having quite a struggle today with RPC over HTTPS.
| Running SBS 2003 SP1 fully patched.
| rpc over https has been working for 8 months not a glitch until
yesterday.
| The user logs on and it just doesn't connect anymore:
| I ran outlook /rpdiag and it never established a connection...strange
| because when I got to https://mail.domain.com/rpc and authenticate I get
the
| 403.2 read access is denied which is normal..
| I do not get promted for a cert when I got to
| https://mail.domain.com/exchange as I have already installed the vert..I
have
| rerun the CIEW wizard a few times..
| verified all settings...everyhting look correct except I cannot connect
via
| https to the server from outside..I can telnet to port 443 from
outside...I
| am really stumped on this one and need some expert advice...I consider
myself
| to be technical..
| any help would be greatly appreciated:
| My iis log file:2007-02-23 07:49:47 W3SVC1 10.0.0.5 RPC_OUT_DATA
| /rpc/rpcproxy.dll FILE.XXXX.local:6001 443 domain\user 63.X.X.X MSRPC 501
0 0
| 2007-02-23 07:49:47 W3SVC1 10.0.0.5 RPC_IN_DATA /rpc/rpcproxy.dll
| FILE.XXXX.local:593 443 domain\user 63.X.X.X MSRPC 501 0 0
|
| I ran rpcping as you recommended and I get "invalid binding option
| <rpcproxy=mail.domain.com>. You must specify the rpcproxy.
|
| Thanks
