        First off, I have to admit I am not familiar with the technical
side of RPC publishing.

         

        What port ranges are used and how does it work?

        Hi John,

         

        Yes please! I'd like to hear more of your observations on this.

         

        However, the problem with the sonicwall firewall setup is that
if you run ISA Server 2000 on the SBS box that runs the Exchange Server,
you cannot avail external users of Exchange RPC publishing. The only way
to do this is to disabling packet filtering, in which case, there's no
point to even installing ISA Server, since its no longer a firewall
without packet filtering protection. The Problem is that there's no way
to disable RPC socket pooling. When you can't disable socket pooling,
you can't create Server Publishing or Web Publishing Rules on that
socket. The only other option is to create packet filters, but in order
to create packet filters, you have to open the entire ephermal range of
ports using static packet filters, which gets back to the poor security
provided by tradition packet filtering based devices like PIX or
sonicwall, and the reason why you want an ISA based appliance in front
of the SBS box so that the customer is able to fully take advantage of
the Exchange Server and remote Outlook 2000/2002/2003 client.

         

        Thanks!

        Tom
