We are going through a similar issue. We filter our RAS modems from 135 and now we have a bunch of executives that can't easily use offline folder (OST files) in Outlook anymore. We are still searching for another solution. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Boggan [mailto:MBoggan@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 4:27 PM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Re: OT: Exchange thru internet man this bites. i can't open 135 because of the blaster virus. well that kills my ideas.. thanks anyway. _________________________________ Michael Boggan Network Engineer/Citrix Admin Virtual Desktop Inc.

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 <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. -----Original Message----- From: Magnus [mailto:magnus@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 11:02 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: OT: Exchange thru internet 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 Magnus -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Henry Sieff Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 11:49 AM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Re: OT: Exchange thru internet 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. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Boggan [mailto:MBoggan@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 10:41 AM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] OT: Exchange thru internet 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? _________________________________ Michael Boggan Network Engineer/Citrix Admin Virtual Desktop Inc.
