Domain.local and domain.com scenario? ________________________________ From: Lloyd Williams [mailto:Williams@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, April 03, 2005 10:27 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: RPC over HTTP: - Problems accessing from outside our network. http://www.MSExchange.org/ The microsoft example for how you configure the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Rpc\RpcProxy ValidPorts registry key says: the Value data box, should have: ServerNETBIOSName:6001-6002;ServerFQDN:6001-6002;ServerNetBIOSName:6004; ServerFQDN:6004 Initially I had my external FQDN in the value ServerFQDN and I did not work internally. I changed it to my internal FQDN then it worked internally How would I edit this registry key to include both the internal and external FQDN? ________________________________ From: Michael B.

The external DNS name must be the name for which the SSL certificate was issued. it is expected behavior for the Control Panel -> Mail -> E-mail account to have the internal DNS name, after it has been resolved. It means you are probably pretty close. :-) ________________________________ From: Lloyd Williams [mailto:Williams@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, April 03, 2005 12:22 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RPC over HTTP: - Problems accessing from outside our network. http://www.MSExchange.org/ I have a single server Exchange 2003 running on Server 2003. I am having problems getting rpc over http working from home. The configuration works from inside our network as I use Outlook /rpcdiag and I see outlook connects as HTTPS. However from outside the network I just get a server unavailable message. I have a feeling the problem is that the outlook client is trying to access the server with the internal DNS name. When I set up the outlook client the internal DNS A record pops up in the client control panel. I would have though the solution would be to put entries for the internal DNS name in the client hosts file but this doesn't seem to work. Even though I can access OWA over SSL using the internal DNS name in the host file. So that indicated name resolution is going OK Does any one have any suggestions Thanks Lloyd Williams - ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: williams@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
