http://www.ISAserver.org ------------------------------------------------------- Please give me the contact information of the person on the Exchange team who told you this - you really need to provide us with this information, as it is *wrong*. A case number would be best. If making the exchange server a DC with NTDS settings as a GC "fixed" the problem, then you had other issues. The steps to set up RPC over HTTP via ISA are already documented. The reason you have not/ will not find any documentation regarding a single Exchange server requiring it to be a DC/GC is because it *doesn't* require it. More likely is that your ISA config (or other internal infrastructure configuration) didn't allow the client/exchange to authenticate to a DC or to retrieve GC information - that bit would be obviated if you chose to make it a DC with GC. Microsoft should not be solving authentication/AD infrastructure issues by making the Exchange box a DC with GC, so it is critical that you provide the contact information/case number so that people here who work with/for Microsoft can ensure that customers are getting the correct information.
