Clayton If you do a dcdiag and a netdiag on the domain controller are there any errors relating to RPC. Does the dcpromo log file give any errors. I have seen this before and did remember a kb around for troubleshooting rpc stuff. It will be in the depths of my Seagate. I'll try find it, meanwhile see if that helps at all.

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. ).

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 J 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 ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: clayton.doige@xxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
