I'm seeing 200's in the W3SVC1 logs on the Exchange front end server. 

On the ISA server logs I see two "initated connection" HTTPS entries from
ISA to FE.

These are immediately followed by the "allowed connection" (RPC_OUT_DATA)
and "failed connection" (RPC_IN_DATA) attempt log entries from my "RPC over
HTTP" rule.

Finally, two "Closed connection" entries for the HTTPS connections.

Then the whole thing repeats as it tries to connect again.

I'm thinking something is still screwed up with my ISA configuration; RPC
over HTTP is working internally.

..maybe - it depends on the error code. 
If you're seeing "200", then it's coming from the Exch server.

same rule; is the data in the error code information column on the ISA logs
the value it is getting back from rpcproxy.dll?

Unless you see different rules quoted for each, now you're troubleshooting
Exchange...

Thanks Jim, I knew 200 was a good thing, so hoped I was making some
progress.

I'm running outlook with the rpcdiag switch on the client.  Upon launching,
Outlook prompts me for credentials and I and see status of "connecting" for
the exchange proxy and the directory in the server connection status dialog.
These disappear after a little while and I get the "your exchange server is
unavailable" dialog.

On the proxy server logs, I'm seeing "Failed Connection Attempt" on the
RPC_IN_DATA queries and "Allowed Connection" on the RPC_OUT_DATA URL.

Er..

Result codes of "200" are success codes. 
What exactly is the client experience?
Whjat do you find in the ISA logs for those recent tests?

Tom,
 
I had it set for all users.  I tried switching it to only authenticated &
forward basic authentication and did get 200 result codes in the front end
server WWW logs, but it is still failing.

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
 
Are you forcing authentication at the ISA firewall, or does the Web
Publishing Rule allow access to "all users"?

        I have ISA 2004 sitting on the outside, with rules to allow RPC over
HTTP access to the Exchange FE server.  I think this is all configured OK.
RPC over HTTP is working OK internally.  I also have OWA working using a
different listener (FBA).

        Whenever I try to make an external RPC connection it is failing.
I'm seeing my username shown in the ISA logs, but in the WWW logs for the
exchange proxy server  I am seeing entries with status 401.2 and win32 error
2148074254, so I think something is wrong with the user authentication.
from the logs (with time/date and ip info removed):

        RPC_IN_DATA /rpc/rpcproxy.dll frontend.andassoc.com:6002 443 -
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx MSRPC 401 2 2148074254 
        RPC_OUT_DATA /rpc/rpcproxy.dll frontend.andassoc.com:6002 443 -
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx MSRPC 401 2 2148074254 

        I have the RPC listener set to use basic authentication as well as
the exchange IIS rpc virtual directory.  The RPC listener also has a
certificate bearing the FQDN of the exchange front end server.

        Any help appreciated. This might not be an ISA issue since I seem to
be reaching the internal Exchange proxy. 

        Jeff
