Hi Jeff,

The procedure of publishing secure Exchange RPC is very quick an easy,
so from the publishing end, the only things that might be whack might
be:

1. The Exchange Server is not a SecureNAT client
2. The publishing rule is disabled
3. A packet filter is blocking the rule from working
4. Exchange is installed on the firewall and the socket is listening on
all interface (this problem CAN'T be fixed without disabling NetBT, and
Exchange really doesn't like that too much)

The real problem with Secure Exchange RPC publishing is name resolution.
Can you run NetMon on the external interface and see if the incoming TCP
135 connections are making it to the firewall?

Thanks!
Tom

Here I am again....

My published RPC Exchange 2000 server through ISA still doesn't work.
Worked fine till the worm crap started happening.
Then ISPs started blocking port 135 and or RPC, but since then they
assure me they have stopped.
I have had Earthlink field technicians work with me on our setup, ours
and their routers, dsu/csu, etc.
They dug down deep and say that there is no blocking going on.

Yet it doesn't work any more for us.
Does anyone know if any of the Microsoft patches actually broke this
functionality?

Tom, I have been going through your deployment kits, but am a little
confused.
Is it still possible to do the RPC publishing with ISA server on Win
2000 server, and Exchange 2000 on Win 2000 server?
Without any additional ssl, certificates, vpn, rpc over http, etc.

It used to work, I just want it back.

Is there any configuration lists or settings you need me to send to help
identify the problem.
Thanks
