Exchange 2003, Outlook 2003, and RPC-HTTP |
|
|
I've been working my way through setting up a RPC-HTTP connection between
Outlook 2003 and Exchange 2003. It's to the point that an internal (within
the local network and domain) RPC-HTTP connection seems to work fine. Also,
I've used IE to connect to Exchange's RPC folder (example -
https://mail.exchangeserver.com/rpc and then filled out a challenge box for
user name and password). The proper error page shows up (403.2 Forbidden:
Read access is denied) and everything seems fine.
But Outlook can't find the server. I've made repeated attempts to connect
with Outlook in rpc diagnostic mode (DOS box - "outlook /rpcdiag") and get
the challenge box for user name and pass; but it never finds an Exchange
server. I've tried to put the user name in different formats:
domain_name\user_name, server_name\user_name, just user_name, and so on; just
to see if it mattered.
There is a PIX 501 firewall sitting between external clients and the
Exchange server. The PIX is setup to allow/pass traffic from ports 80 (HTTP)
and 443(HTTPS) to the Exchange server. Since the RPC packets are being moved
via HTTP, I have not punch a hole for RPC in the firewall.
The Exchange I'm using is part of the Small Business Server 2003 package.
SBS made it easy to setup the Exchange side of RPC-HTTP (a wizard and a check
box later it was ready) and I've gone through different 'How to' FAQs that
verified Exchange's setting are correct. So I'm left with the firewall
and/or the client.
Any help on this would be great.
Thanks.
