The 401.3 error is normal and it means your RPC is working. I think you
will find on one of Microsoft's RPC over HTTP deployment how-to guides
that if you get 401.3 that your RPC is fully working.
Have you installed the CERT on your workstation?? RPC over HTTP will not
work unless the CERT which is running your Outlook Web Access website is
installed on your workstation.

I would never trust "so the customer tells me" as sufficient proof for a
difficult problem.
I get the same 3 login prompts and same 401.3 failure page for
https://server/rpc on both XP Pro and XP Home. The 3 login prompts
before
failure is correct behavior for XP SP2, IIRC.
Plus when Michael B. Smith says something works, or doesn't, he's not
usually guessing.

Hi Carl,

Yes, exact same room, same network, same firewall as the XP Pro systems
which all work (so the customer tells me, this is at a remote site).
Also, the same failing accounts work when configured on an XP Pro.

behavior.

I believe the correct behavior is that you will be presented with the
login/password prompt ONCE, and if you type in the correct
login/password,
then you will get an error page, however if you look closely at the
error
page, it will be an error 403.2 (not 404 or 500 or any other error).
This
is the test that Microsoft Support has had me do on previous occasions
when debugging RPC/HTTP.
Best regards
Mike
