Verify that the computer is running Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1 or
later

o Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
The version of the operating system and service pack is displayed under
System. If you do not see a service pack version, there is no service pack
installed.

Verify that Windows update Q331320 is installed on the computer (not

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then open Add or Remove Programs.
2. Under Currently installed programs, search for the item Windows XP

to download and install it.

Verify that the computer is running Outlook 2003 or later
1. Open Outlook.
2. Click the Help menu, and then click About Microsoft Office Outlook. The
version number appears at the top of the box.

Verify that the computer trusts the certificate used by the server

1. Open Internet Explorer, and then in the address bar type:
https://sbssvr.sbs.com/remote
o If the certificate is trusted, a certificate warning does not appear. In
this case, continue with step 1 under Ensure that you have an Outlook
profile configured for the server.
o If the certificate is not trusted, a warning appears. Click View
Certificate, click Install Certificate, and then follow the instructions.

Ensure that you have an Outlook profile configured for the server

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
o If you are viewing Control Panel in the default Category view, switch to

appears in the list, select your profile, click Properties, click E-mail
Accounts, select View or change existing e-mail accounts, and then click
Next. If your profile does not appear, open Outlook and follow the
instructions to create a profile before proceeding.

o If Microsoft Exchange Server does not appear in the list, the existing
profile is not associated with a Microsoft Exchange Server e-mail account.
Click Cancel, and then click Close. Continue with step 3 to add a profile.

o If there is an existing Microsoft Exchange Server profile, continue with
step 3 under Configure the computer for RPC over HTTP.
3. Click Add. The New Profile dialog box appears.
4. In the Profile Name box, type a name for the new profile, and then click
OK. The E-mail Accounts dialog box appears.
5. Under E-mail, select Add a new e-mail account, and then click Next. The
Server Type dialog box appears.
6. Click Microsoft Exchange Server, and then click Next.
7. Continue with step 4 under Configure the computer for RPC over HTTP.

Configure the computer for RPC over HTTP

Classic view, and then double-click Mail.
o If you are viewing Control Panel in Classic view, double-click Mail.
2. In the Mail Setup dialog box, click E-mail accounts, click View or

3. In the E-mail accounts dialog box, click Microsoft Exchange Server, and
then click Change.
4. In the Microsoft Exchange Server box, type the local name of the
Exchange server: sbssvr.sbs.local
5. In the User Name box, type the user name that you use to log on to the
Remote Web Workplace. Do not click Check Name.
6. In the Exchange Server settings page, click More Settings.
7. On the Connection tab, under Exchange over the Internet, select Connect
to my Exchange mailbox using HTTP, and then click Exchange Proxy Settings.
The Exchange Proxy Settings dialog box appears.
8. Under Use this URL to connect to my proxy server for Exchange, type the
following URL:

11. Select On slow networks, connect using HTTP first, then connect using
TCP/IP.
12. Under Proxy authentication settings, select Basic Authentication.
13. Click OK, and then click OK again. Click Next, and then click Finish.
Click Close.
14. In the Mail dialog box, if Always use this profile is selected, choose
the newly configured profile.
15. Open Outlook and type your Windows Small Business Server user name (in
the format SBS\user name) and password. You can now work with your Outlook
mailbox.

Before you configure RPC over http, please make sure you have run the CEICW
wizard to allow Outlook via the Internet.

1. Click Start, click Server Management. Click To Do List and then click
"Connect to the Internet". Click Next, and go through the Internet option.
2. Select Enable firewall and click Next.
3. On the Web Services Configuration page shows, make sure Outlook via the
Internet is selected. Click Next.
4. On the Web Server Certificate page shows. Select "Create a new Web
server certificate", and type your FQDN (mail.domain.com) in the "Web
server name" text box. Click Next.

IMPORTANT: The FQDN that you type in the "Web server name" box must be the
same name that you use to connect to the Web site from the Internet. For
example, if the URL that you use to connect to the OWA is
https://server.contoso.com/exchange, type "server.contoso.com" (without the
quotation marks) in the "Web server name" box. If you use
http://ipaddress/exchange to access OWA, type the public IP address in the
"Web server name".

5. Go through the steps to finish the wizard.
