Re: RPC over HTTP

Hi Phil,

Thanks for your reply.

I will help you with the PRC over Http issue in this thread. For the RWW
issue, a suggestion is to open a new thread in our newsgroup. Thanks for
your understanding.

However, I'd like to give you some suggestions here:

By default, RWW is installed automatically when running the SBS integrated
setup. There is virtual directory named Remote under Default Website in
IIS, please have a check.

Please check the following steps to see if RWW can work again.

Step 1: Please rerun the CEICW, this helps us to configure network and IIS
correctly:

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 Remote Work
Webplace is selected. Click Next.
Note: You can select other items according to your needs, for example:
Outlook Web Access, Business Website (wwwroot) and so on.
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 RWW is
https://server.contoso.com/remote, type "server.contoso.com" (without the
quotation marks) in the "Web server name" box. If you use
http://ipaddress/remote to access RWW, type the public IP address in the
"Web server name".

5. Go through the steps to finish the wizard.

2003

Step 2: This may be caused by incorrect IIS setting, please have a check:

1. Open IIS snap-in.
2. Go to Default Web Site/Remote
3. Right click Remote and click Properties.
4. Click Virtual Directory tab.
5. Please ensure you have input proper Local Path (C:\Inetpub\remote) and
also ensure the checkbox of Read, Log Visit and Index this resource are
checked.
And also ensure Application Settings as follows:
--Application Name: Remote
--Execute Permissions: Script only
--Application Pool: DefaultAppPool
6. Click Directory Security tab.
7. Click Edit under "Authentication and access control".
8. Make sure that the option "Integrated Windows Authentication" and Enable
anonymous access are checked.
9. Click Edit under "IP address and domain name restriction".
10. Make sure that "Granted access" has been selected.
11. Click Edit under "Secure communications".
12. Make sure that "Require secure channel (SSL)" is checked.
13. On the ASP.NET tab, ensure version is 1.1.4322.

Hope this helps.

If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Best regards,

Robert Li(MSFT)
