RPC over HTTP

[moony8272]

I am running Exchange 2003 SP2 and Win XP SP2, I have followed through Microsoft documents about setting up RPC over HTTP but cannot get it to work. The problem that I am having is everytime that I try and check Server name and User name it keeps prompting me for a password and cannot get passed that stage. Has anyone come across this before or has any ideas??

Thanks

Did you install the root certificate on the workstation?

I hope you find this post helpful.

try inserting the domain name before the username (i.e. domainname\username)

This has worked for me a couple times. Weird thing is, when this happened to me I tried it from a different computer and it worked w/o putting the domain name in. ???

Use rpcdiag to see what is happening. If the unit is outside the firewall you'll probably find this is a WINS issue in Outlook. Get a temporary VPN going prior to first launch of Outlook and then you can remove it.
