                        yeah i changed the DS and IS ports to 5000 and 5001 
respectively and had all this working using RPC on the 135 working.  but had to 
close 135 when blaster came out.  if you find a way to change the 135 to 
somethign else, i'd really like to. i have many users wanting the outlook over 
the internet to work again.

                                You can change the endpoint itself (the link I 
sent describes that process). The endpoint mapper is a different ball of wax. 
If you did actually do that, then I am absolutely all ears, since this is a 
perennially recurring topic on several security mailing lists I am on, and the 
general consensus has always been: don't allow exchange access direct from the 
internet because of all the nasties out there.
                                 
                                Anyways, let me know what you find.

                                        If I recall correctly we did change the 
RPC endpoint for it.  I will have to double check my notes though (I could be 
wrong)

                                        Nope. You can change the ports exchange 
uses, but not the RPC endpoint mapper port on 135.
                                         
                                        
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;155831 details how to 
change the ports exchange uses, but there is no way to change the RPC endpoint 
mapper service port number. Keep in mind that the client still has to identify 
which ports the exchange service is listening on, and that requires a service 
which uses a port that the client knows about ahead of time, in this case, RPC 
on 135.

                                        Actualy you change change the port to a 
static port(by default it will dynamically assign the port once it gets 
connected) even the TCP 135 port.  There are a couple of MS KB's on it (sorry I 
dont have the numbers)  I ended up calling ms and I had it set up in about 20 
minutes

                                        To use the full exchange server client, 
you must open up the RPC endpoint mapper port (135). You can set which port 
exchange actually ends up using, but 135 is used to initiate the process 
whereby the client learns that port number.

                                        I want to be able to hit my exchange 
thru the internet but to do it it says that the RPC port 135 has to be opened.  
Well I don't want to do that for obvious reasons.  Is there a way to change 
which port the RPC uses for exchange?
