From: Nik on 31 Mar 2010 15:28 I'm working on setting up RPC over HTTP. Did all the configs using a combination of sites. Microsoft, msexchange.org, petri, techrepublic, etc. However, for whatever reasons I just can't connect to my front-end. When I try to connect using http://front-end/exchange I connect without any problems, no certificate complaints no user name problem, nothing. However, when I try to connect to outlook I get "Outlook could not log on. Check to make sure you are connect to the network and are using a proper server and mailbox name. The connection to the Microsoft Exchange Server is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action." I configured my RPC over HTTP backend before I configure the front end. When I check the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RPC\RpcProxy\ValidPorts my server shows up in there. I configured outlook by specifying the RPC proxy server name and chosing Basic Auth over NTLM Can someone tell me what I may be missing or where I can look. I'm running Exchange 2003sp2, Windows 2003 sp2, Outlook 2003
From: Nik on 31 Mar 2010 15:54 One other point. I'm using a front-end with multiple back-ends My back-ends are not domain controllers or GC "Nik" <test> wrote in message news:e2DT6fQ0KHA.3680(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > I'm working on setting up RPC over HTTP.

From: Nik on 1 Apr 2010 15:23 Ok I think I figured out my mistake after doing some reading. I was configured both the "Exchange Server" and the "Proxy Server" as my front-end server. I've now configured my "Exchange Server" as the server holding the user's mailbox and the "Proxy Server" as my front-end server. Can someone confirm this is the way it has to be. Thanks!
