Don't see why you have to. I am at home right now (with my personal Exchange server). I have RPC/HTTP setup. Live certificate etc. I take my laptop to a client site, plug it in and it works. I bring my laptop home, plug it in, it works. What I have done is a split dns. Thus mail.domain.com works both internally and externally. Internally it resolves to the Exchange server's internal IP address and externally it resolves to my firewall's IP address. It is how I have been implementing RPC/HTTP for the last six months. Heck - half the users don't even know that anything has changed! Simon. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael B.

I'm not going to switch the configuration of my Outlook profile/Exchange proxy configuration everytime I make that switch. That's a great KB article though. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Simon Butler Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2004 3:52 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: rpc over http Not true. If the machine that Outlook is installed on is a member of the same domain as the Exchange server then you need to make a small change to the registry on the RPC Proxy machine. It will then pass through correctly. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=820281 I don't think I would have implemented a single RPC/HTTP system if there was a username/password prompt every time you started Exchange.

Remember, it uses SSL - not NTLM or Kerberos. There is no pass-through authentication for SSL. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jean-Paul Natola Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2004 3:12 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: rpc over http Well its working now, Thanks for the info, Another quickie, I have heard from different sources one of them being M$ conflicting statements as far the authentication goes. They tell me that even if the MACHINE IS IN THE DOMAIN and the credentials are valid, that I am still suppose to get that dumb little pop-up box where you re-enter your credentials. One (I) would think that if I'm on a machine that IS in the domain and the credentials ARE valid why would I get re-prompted for the exact same credentials, this is no biggie , just a curiosity question, as I have NO experience with webs form auth, IIS etc.. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael B.

Smith Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2004 2:23 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: rpc over http Depends on how you set your rpcproxy variable (enter "rpccfg /hd" from a command prompt). I always set that up with 3 things: external FQDN, internal FQDN, and netbios name. You do that - it'll work by default. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jean-Paul Natola Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2004 2:20 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: rpc over http I found article that states it should NOT work by default The problem is expected since the public FQDN will be resolved to the external IP address of the firewall device while actually the notebook is on the internal network. If you do not want to create a new profile for the user we can create an "Alias (CNAME)" record in DNS so that the public FQDN will be resolved to the Internal IP address of the server when on the LAN: I am trying to create this alias , but whenever I ping www.fcimail.org it keeps resolving to the outside IP , despite having created the ALIAS Cname -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael B.

Today a mgr purchased a new laptop and I'm here installing configuring etc.. Is there an issue with using RPC over http while inside the LAN on a domain machine? Till now everyone that has used it has been outside, on non-domain member machines. I would hate to have to tell her "when you are in the office, go to mail, settings, connection, and de-select rpc over http, then when you leave re-select it" Any thoughts? 73 minutes an counting TIA Jean-Paul Natola Network Administrator Information Technology Family Care International 588 Broadway Suite 503 New York, NY 10012 Phone:212-941-5300 xt 36 Fax:� 212-941-5563 Mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=exchange To subscribe: http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
