Hey Tony,

Have you been following this article?
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=833401

From step 15:

"To test your RPC over HTTP configuration, click to select the On fast
networks, connect to Exchange using HTTP first, then connect using
TCP/IP check box and the On slow networks, connect to Exchange using
HTTP first, then connect using TCP/IP check box."

Annoyingly, there isn't an option to remove the ability to connect via
normal TCP/IP. But if you've set up RPC/HTTP properly, then it shouldn't
really matter. I've actually just installed it on my system here after
bashing my head over it for a while. If you follow that article to the
letter, it should work.

Just make sure you Change the registry settings (even if you've
installed EXCH SP1!, this is where I tripped up:

#######################################################

Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Rpc\RpcProxy

In the right pane, right-click ValidPorts, and then click Modify.
Remove all the information from the Value data box, and then type the
following information:
ServerNETBIOSName:6001;ServerFQDN:6001;ServerNetBIOSName:6004;ServerFQDN
:6004

########################################################

Good luck,

Jason

Hi,

I have Outllook 2003, Exchange 2003, Windows 2003.

I have installed and configured the RPC over HTTP on the server. I have
tested it by going to https://servername.domain.com/rpc and get the
expected
results. I have configured outlook 2003 to connect via HTTP on slow and
fast. However, when I start it, it always connects via TCP/IP.

Any suggestions of where to look?

Tony
