When you ran the Connect to the Internet wizard, what is the exact name you
gave for the certificate?

i.e. mail.servername.com

When you go to the OWA url, do you use the exact same name, as in
https://mail.servername.com/exchange ?

Hello Lily,

Thank you for posting in the SBS newsgroup.

According to your description, I understand that you received the
error
message "'The connection to the Microsoft Exchange Erver is
unavailable¡­"
when you try to use RPC over HTTP to connect the Exchange Server.
If I
have
misunderstood your concern, please don't hesitate to let me know.

1. In SBS 2003, we don't have to manually configure RPC over
HTTP.
We
can
follow the steps below to enable RPC over HTTP:

A. Make sure you have enabled "Outlook over the Internet" and
"Remote
Web
Workplace" in the CEICW (Configure E-mail and Internet Connection
wizard),
then you will logon to the Remote Web Workplace
(https://serverfqdn/remote)
as a user from the remote client and look at the link for
"Configure
Outlook via the Internet". You can see it from the server by going
into
https://localhost/remote. If the option is not displayed, then the
feature
is not configured on the server.

B. Click "Configure Outlook via the Internet" and then the Web page
"Using
Outlook via the Internet" will appear which has pretty much a step
by
step
list of instructions. If it tells you to use "server.domain.local",
use
that. If it tells you to use "server.domain.com", use that. Follow
the
steps exactly.

2003

2. To troubleshooting RPC over HTTP related issue:

A. From the Internet client, browse to https://FQDN/rpc. In order
for
RPC
over HTTP to work, you must be able to browse to this URL without
getting
a
popup warning about the certificate. You will receive the following
error
on the page:

The page cannot be displayed
HTTP Error 403.2 - Forbidden: Read access is denied.
Internet Information Services (IIS)

This is normal. The idea is to be able to get to that page without
getting
the popup warning about the certificate.

B. If URLScan is installed on the SBS server, in some
configurations,
it
is
necessary to make the following changes in urlscan.ini in order for
RPC
over HTTP to work:

[RequestLimits]
; The entries in this section impose limits on the length
; of allowed parts of requests reaching the server.
MaxAllowedContentLength=2000000000
MaxUrl=16384
MaxQueryString=4096

In addition, you need to add the following verbs to the Allow
Verbs:

RPC_IN_DATA
RPC_OUT_DATA

After editing the ini file, restart IIS Admin Service and Microsoft
ISA
Server Control services.

Reference:

823175 Fine-tuning and known issues when you use the Urlscan
utility
in
an
Exchange 2003 environment
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=823175

3. Start outlook with the /rpcdiag switch, does that provide any
direction?

4. On the SBS server, verify if it trusts the certificate:

A. Open Internet Explorer, and then in the address bar type:
https://publishing.yourdomain.local/remote

B. If the certificate is not trusted, a warning popup appears.
Click
View
Certificate, click Install Certificate, and then follow the
instructions.

5. On the SBS server, open IIS Manager, expand your server\Web
Service
Extensions, is RPC Proxy Server Extension allowed? If so,
double-click
it,
check if it is using "C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcproxy\rpcproxy.dll".
If
it
is
using "C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcproxy.dll", remove it and add
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcproxy\rpcproxy.dll" on the Required Files
tab.
Run
"iisreset" and see how it goes.

6. How many NIC installed on your SBS server. Is ISA also
installed?
Is
there any software firewall enabled on the SBS server? Generally,
for
RPC
over HTTP, we just need to open the incoming TCP port 80 and 443 on
the
hardware firewall.

7. Please do a screen capture of this issue on the Outlook client,
and
then
attach it in your reply.

I am appreciated your time and cooperation. If anything is unclear,
please
feel free to let me know. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi!
I enabled Outlook RPC over HTTP on SBS 03 server, and followed the
instructions to configure Outlook 03.
But now Outllok can't connect anymore, at all. When it starts -
comes
up
with a message:
'The connection to the Microsoft Exchange Erver is
unavailable.Outlook
must
be online or connected to complete this action.' and then:
'Unable to open your default email folders. The information store
could
be
opened.'

Please help!

Thanks, Lily!
