Isn't intallation supposed to be smart enough not to let us enable the
feature unless the service is installed???

You also might be asking yourself "Hey Self, why did the Exchange Team
not include the 6000-6004 RPC port range by default in Ex2k3 when they
know that the only way people would deploy RPC/HTTP over the Internet is
via ISA, which only uses those RPC ports."   Because it's more fun to
make the admin edit the registry while telling them "if you edit the
registry, we are not responsible for your system anymore" particularly
when that's they only possible way it can work!

"You might be asking yourself "Hey Tom, why did you enable RPC/HTTP in
the Exchange Server configuration when you haven't installed the
RPC/HTTP Proxy service yet?" The reason why I did it this way was to
show off the Exchange development team's sense of humor. Sure, they
could have configured things so that when you enable Outlook Anywhere it
would check to see if the RPC/HTTP Proxy service was installed, but it's
a lot more fun for them to think about you trying to troubleshoot for a
few days why RPC/HTTP isn't working. You'd think they'd get enough
jollies by making you use PowerHell for the certificate request and
assignment."
