who does.  That is kind of the downside to being offline.

I have done this and the problem I ran into was performance. It is very slow 
and sometimes the outlook will appear to be frozen while it communicates with 
the server. My user would then go to the task manager which would show Outlook 
to be (not responding) when in reality it was just downloading some attachment 
or something. It was a total nightmare to support. Why not use OWA for public 
folder access?

The reason for doing it over the internet is 2 fold.  First, we have lots of 
public folders and calendars they need access too.  Second, they like the 
ability to sync there laptop when connected over the internet then get in and 
edit everything while offline.

I would simply publish the application through Citrix. That way you get 
everything, and on a decent connection a lot less speed degredation.

 

What is the reason you want "Exchange over the Internet", anyway? I mean, you 
can set up POP/SMTP with ports 110/25 open and that will be fine. But Exchange 
featured mail is going to be a drag for you to support, in my opinion.

not that this is relevant to Citrix, but Exchange 2003 with Outlook 11 (2003) 
offers MAPI over HTTP.  I'm going to do some testing with it tomorrow in fact.  
Need to find out if you can SSL encrypt it and if so, how.

yeah i changed the DS and IS ports to 5000 and 5001 respectively and had all 
this working using RPC on the 135 working.  but had to close 135 when blaster 
came out.  if you find a way to change the 135 to somethign else, i'd really 
like to. i have many users wanting the outlook over the internet to work again.

You can change the endpoint itself (the link I sent describes that process). 
The endpoint mapper is a different ball of wax. If you did actually do that, 
then I am absolutely all ears, since this is a perennially recurring topic on 
several security mailing lists I am on, and the general consensus has always 
been: don't allow exchange access direct from the internet because of all the 
nasties out there.

 

Anyways, let me know what you find.

If I recall correctly we did change the RPC endpoint for it.  I will have to 
double check my notes though (I could be wrong)

Nope. You can change the ports exchange uses, but not the RPC endpoint mapper 
port on 135.

 

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;155831 details how to 
change the ports exchange uses, but there is no way to change the RPC endpoint 
mapper service port number. Keep in mind that the client still has to identify 
which ports the exchange service is listening on, and that requires a service 
which uses a port that the client knows about ahead of time, in this case, RPC 
on 135.

Actualy you change change the port to a static port(by default it will 
dynamically assign the port once it gets connected) even the TCP 135 port.  
There are a couple of MS KB's on it (sorry I dont have the numbers)  I ended up 
calling ms and I had it set up in about 20 minutes

To use the full exchange server client, you must open up the RPC endpoint 
mapper port (135). You can set which port exchange actually ends up using, but 
135 is used to initiate the process whereby the client learns that port number.

I want to be able to hit my exchange thru the internet but to do it it says 
that the RPC port 135 has to be opened.  Well I don't want to do that for 
obvious reasons.  Is there a way to change which port the RPC uses for 
exchange?
