Tom I was actually bagsing one of his new servers, but I agree with you, I haven't had much play time recently, hence my slackness in doing anything really constructive. I barely get a chance to read the list mail in the morning before I get bombarded. :P it normally settles down a bit though. Maybe ill have to make some time over the weekend to play, its just so cold in the computer room in winter, which I spose is a good thing :) Thanks Greg Mulholland Stelatel Communications Unit 3 641-643 Centre Rd Bentleigh East, VIC Phone: (03) 9576-5699 Fax: (03) 9576-5899 gregstelatel@xxxxxxxxxxx www.stelatel.com -----Original Message----- From: Thomas W Shinder [mailto:tshinder@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, 30 June 2004 11:31 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Outlook Client and RPC http://www.ISAserver.org Hi Greg, Ha!

I just bought 2 new servers that I can get together And put those into place as I rebuild the other machines. I'm actually going to remove my E2k box and do the exchange 2003 setup. Maybe I should just use http mail. However, I never Did like that method. I do like the idea of using the outlook client and that is what a couple people have asked me to setup for them. So, that's what I'll do. Thanks for the great input. If you like I'll publish the steps that I take to implement the back to back rpc solution that you have. A test if you will.

External hosts will only access your public records, which will only be for things like mail (A and MX), www, ftp, etc. Then you create the appropriate records for your Internal zone that goes by the same name. External hosts never access the Internal zone, and Internal hosts never access the external zone. Once you have it in place, you'll never go back :-) HTH, Tom -----Original Message----- From: josephk [mailto:josephk@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 4:48 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Outlook Client and RPC http://www.ISAserver.org Hi Thomas, Yes sir, I've read all of those goodies. You even mentioned the split DNS setup. Like a good techno-dude, My setup is already in place and I'm wondering how much Work it will be to get things working. I actually plan on reformatting all my machines Over the next month and redo the internal network. Maybe at that time I could change the name. So, your basically saying that if my external mail machine is mail.somesite.com That my internal DNS for that machine also needs to be mail.somesite.com? I nice picture form left to right might help solve this. Or, at least I like pictures of Network diagrams that go left to right rather then top to bottom! <grin> I actually thought that the message screener was interfering with the setup. Thank you, Joseph -----Original Message----- From: Thomas W Shinder [mailto:tshinder@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 2:31 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Outlook Client and RPC http://www.ISAserver.org Hi Joseph, The split DNS is an absolute key to making this work. The name of the Exchange Server needs to match the host name used to access the machine from the remote host, and the remote host needs to correctly fully qualify the NetBIOS name. I think I've written about this ten times, and I'm preparing to write about it again, since you can't say the same thing often enough, in different ways, when the thing being said it really important and really often misunderstood. Check out the DNS stuff in the various kits and the Outlook client configuation sections. There's coverage in those docs on the DNS client configs. HTH, Tom -----Original Message----- From: josephk [mailto:josephk@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 4:08 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] Outlook Client and RPC http://www.ISAserver.org Hi All, I've re-read the articles on ISAServer.org and decided to add back in the capabilities to utilize Outlook clients over RPC to connect to my exchange machine. I run a back to back network. All machines are w2k boxes. I've not yet moved all over to windows 2003. My DNS machine in the DMZ hosts many sites and has a different Name then my DNS server behind my second firewall. My external ISA box has the message screener running and forwards all SMTP mail to a relay box. So, I setup the Exchange RPC rule to point to my internal ISA machine. I'm not sure if by pointing to the different sources has any affect on connecting with outlook client. SMTP mail is arriving as setup. I know that for the blaster and sasser type scripts it disables access to ports 135(outbound) and 445. What is the best way to trouble shoot this type of setup? I'm unable to connect from an external outlook client, message is that global address book not available? And can't find exchange. I don't' see any particular messages in the log files to pinpoint connectivity issues. Thank you, Joseph ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter:
