Exchange 2003 RPC over HTTP

Freakish_05 · 15 Sep 2007 at 18:11

Hi Guys,

On the really off chance that some genius here has managed to get this working....

I've got an exchange server which I access locally at home. I want to set my gf up an account for a number of reasons but as we don't live together yet she'll need to access it over the web.

I've spent about 20 hours this week reading page after page of tutorials and how-tos of how to get RPC over HTTP to work. My efforts have been in vain!

If there is anyone out there who could help me I'd really appreciate it!

Cheers,

I'm using a self-made certificate using Windows 2003's CA.

Everything seems to be working fine with that though as I don't have any trouble connecting to OWA with it (i.e. I've imported the root certificate of the CA to the client and don't get any SSL warnings when I browse to OWA).

The RPC proxy seems to be configured properly too as when I browse to the RPC virtual directory on my web server it asks me for authentication.

I've just imported the certificate into the client certificate store. Still nothing

Why can't microsoft just make something that works

Thanks for all the help guys but I've given up.

I'm gonna try one of the linux based alternatives instead.

Microsoft are getting a very bad reputation with me for rolling out stuff that is nowhere near ready!
