Well I think its playing a role in the RPC over HTTP because here at my
home office I was able to get RPC over HTTP working which uses a
standardize domain (domain.com) though I had to use the external IP of
the ISA server (NIC) because I was trying to go out my router and back
in which always work. :) As soon as I set my Host file to be the
external IP of my ISA box (10.10.10.2) I was able to login as whoever I
wanted. 

At this companies site their internet IP is assigned to their external
NIC on ISA; the company that provides them DSL up sold them to use
crappy Netophia routers so they could better utilize their 4 extra IP's.
So the connection goes from the Netophia router to the ISA box and is
wide open (nothing is being blocked). 

Anyhow both my machine and the companies one are setup identically with
the exception they have their own cert and I have my own cert. I am able
to get connected to mine theirs won't connect. 

I do have a question: is there anyway for an ISP to block RPC over HTTP?
I know most ISP's today block port 135 on the edge of their firewalls,
thus most DSL customers end up with no port 135 traffic. Or does RPC
over HTTP only use 443 or 445, and port 80?

Only if your internal name resolution sucks.

Jim, 

 

I forgot to mention that the way these people had their server setup is
that its primary DNS is domain.local and their mail is owa.doman.com - I
have hear that when you use a local as the primary DNS that it can cause
problems for RPC/HTTP??

RPC/HTTP is only supported on WinXP and later.

Hi Jim,

 

The client runs Office 2003 Pro, thus Outlook 2003. We are installing
SP1 as I type this message and will test it again, but can I be sure
that its related to not having SP1?

 

We have the client machine connected to a DSL modem in the same office
but non of the traffic goes through the server, it all goes out to over
the internet back into the office. 

 

Thanks

Andrew

RPC/HTTP doesn't use the RPC application filter.

Any "real" RPC traffic you see is a result of client misconfiguration.

 

What is the client you're using (OS/SP/Office ver / patches)?

Where is the client operating from; internal or external to ISA?

Hi,

 

I have setup RPC over HTTP along with OWA using Tom's Exchange / ISA
info. Though I don't think there is any problem with his material I am
having a problem wirh RPC. The OWA with SSL works flawlessly. 

 

When I setup the log in ISA to only look at the machine that we are
using on the external side to connect to RPC over HTTP its able to
negoicate with HTTPS on 443 without any problems but the RPC (all
interfaces) id denied access by the default rule. I am wondering is
there something else I need to set on ISA to enable the RPC protocol to
work?

 

Thanks

Andrew
