Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the tip.  I will probably configure RPC over HTTP, at least
once I have exchange installed.  Right now I am finding it difficult to
add the 'OWA' server (in the DMZ) to the domain prior to installing
exchange, when the domain controllers are in the internal network.

Cheers,
Adrian
