I have done this and the problem I ran into was performance. It is very slow
and sometimes the outlook will appear to be frozen while it communicates with
the server. My user would then go to the task manager which would show Outlook
to be (not responding) when in reality it was just downloading some attachment
or something. It was a total nightmare to support. Why not use OWA for public
folder access?

The reason for doing it over the internet is 2 fold. First, we have
lots of public folders and calendars they need access too. Second, they like
the ability to sync there laptop when connected over the internet then get in
and edit everything while offline.

I would simply publish the application through Citrix. That way
you get everything, and on a decent connection a lot less speed degredation.
What is the reason you want "Exchange over the Internet",
anyway? I mean, you can set up POP/SMTP with ports 110/25 open and that will be
fine. But Exchange featured mail is going to be a drag for you to support, in
my opinion.

not that this is relevant to Citrix, but Exchange 2003 with
Outlook 11 (2003) offers MAPI over HTTP. I'm going to do some testing with it
tomorrow in fact. Need to find out if you can SSL encrypt it and if so, how.

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?
