The Outlook install is on a different computer than the Exchange/ISA Server.
It is running on Windows 2003 Server. The Windows XP box I have with Outlook
2003 can connect just fine. Both of these machines get the 1053 Error in the
application log: Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. (The
remote procedure call failed. ). Group Policy processing aborted.

Are you trying to send mail from outlook on the exchange server? or is this
a separate server you have

This is my situation, and it aint going to change. So before you all tell me
what a bad boy I am being by doing this, that is wonderful, but I want to
make this scenario work full stop. )Sorry for the party broadcast there, was
a pre-emptive measure eh)

 

Right. 2003 Global Catalogue, SQL 2000, ISA 2004 and Exchange 2003 are on
the same Box, as I am doing a wee bit of learning here, and just seeing how
far I can push things. This is not SBS. The mail server is published and
email happily goes in and out of my server. IIS works a treat, SQL is happy
too.

 

On my WinXP box on the private range, Outlook 2003 is as happy as you like,
open it, connect, send receive whatever.

 

On my W2K3 Member Server on said private range however it comes up as
disconnected, and won't send receive.

 

I got the bright idea of publishing Exchange RPC to the internal LAN, and
that did nae help.

 

If I start a logging query, I note a bunch of entries basically like:

 

Local IP            135       RPC (All Interfaces)        Initiated
Connection        No Rule Shows in the rule column           Client IP

Local IP            135       RPC (All Interfaces)        Closed Connection
again no rule referenced                          Client IP

 

This repeats a few times, but that is all that happens. A send/receive in
outlook just says the server is unavailable.

 

In Event Spewer on the same W2K3 member server (and on the XP box for that
matter) Group Policy will not apply as the RPC failed, and thus the computer
does not know its own name, (poor amnesiatic little thingy) The Event ID is
1053, but that did not bring a lot up on a google search that I could relate
to the scenario I have set up here. I tried publishing internally an RPC
Server to the private IP and that made no diff either.

 

OK< so I am doing this all totally wrong, and I should stick a bridgehead in
a DMZ, route mail to that, then have another SMTP connector to a mail server
on the private LAN that actually has the mailboxes, or any other
configuration other than the one I have. But this is the one I have, and I
would like to make it work :-) I have one puter I can run all this stuff on
and blow away at my leisure if it goes boom, the other two, not so easy to
do so, therefore mesa putting me's eggs in da big basket.

 

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated, other than the obvious 'you should
not set it up that way' LOL

 

Cheers

 

Clayton
