Re: SBS 2003 and Outlook rpc over http issue



You ended your post with "Any help is appreciated greatly..."

Obviously, it was not!

Posting the same problem again just because you were offended that someone
RIGHTLY pointed out that port 80 is NOT needed for Exchange/OWA/RWW to work
and is a security risk will not get you any better answers.

However, the tone with which you posted this message will likely get you
ignored.

Everyone in here volunteers his/her time to help. Take that into
consideration before you get upset.

See my reply to your original post for some possible help.

Hi,

First dont reply if you dont have an answer that kinda wastes my time out
here and makes me repost.


SBS 2003 that has been running for 3 years with minimal issues. I have
setup SBS and configured exchange on this machine years ago. Recently I
tried to configure an Outlook 2003 client on Winxp with all updates to
connect via RPC over HTTP with no luck.

I have about 20 of these SBS machines at other locations and have never
had
an issue getting RPC over HTTP to work. I re-ran the email connection
wizard
with no luck. Checked all ports on the firewall and I have pop, smtp,
ssl,
vpn, sharepoint and terminal server open and are forwarding
to the server. I can initiate a session via HTTPS only which works fine.
However I can not get RPC to work. I have tried this on several machines
and it is most definitely something that is screwed up on the server. I
know
for a fact that at one point this was working. I did install CRM about 2
years ago but the customer didnt want to use this after a while so I
uninstalled this. I am thinking that the CRM did something to my box but
I
cannot seem to figure this out. I even tried my own laptop which I use to
test other customers machines with no luck. I am also unable to get any
windows mobile devices to connect either. It may be an issue with my
certificate, authentication is setup correctly. I checked the RPC
permissions in IIS and it is setup to use basic authentication for RPC
requests.

Any ideas? Both the server 2003 and the XP pro clients are fully patched,
office 2003 is up to SP3. I have also tried to run from a Vista client
with
office 2007 and it still is failing. The windows mobile device is version
5
with activesynch.

Any help is appreciated greatly...

Ted
