Re: Outlook RPC over HTTp deosn't work



You don't need to export anything.

With XP workstations: Go to remote web workplace (or Outlook Web Access), accept the certificate prompt, 'view', and 'install' the certificate - accepting all the defaults. With Vista clients, you have to run IE as adminstrator, and then install the certificate in the specific store - trusted root certification store.
