I am setting this up, and am following the directions on Simon Butler's web page - http://amset.info/exchange/rpc-http.asp - and while I've read the Questions section at the end, I'm still a little unclear on this.
1) We're (at the moment) in situation 2 WRT DC and Exchange (DC and Exchange separate, single Exchange server (well, sort of - we still have Exchange 5.5 running our Rightfax integration, but that should go away soon!) no FE/BE arrangement), so the reg entry in the sample looks as follows: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Rpc\RpcProxy] "ValidPorts"="exchange-server:100-5000; exchange-server:6001-6002; exchange-server.domain.local:6001-6002; dc:6001-6002; dc.domain.local:6001-6002; exchange-server:6004; exchange-server.domain.local:6004; dc:6004; dc.domain.local:6004; mail.external.com:6001-6002; mail.external.com:6004; dc:593; dc.domain.local:593; exchange-server:593; exchange-server.domain.local:593; mail.external.com:593;" Can this be condensed down (we use split DNS, and FQDNs inside are the same as FQDNs outside) to: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Rpc\RpcProxy] "ValidPorts"=" exchange-server:100-5000; exchange-server:6001-6002; exchange-server.example.com:6001-6002; dc:6001-6002; dc.example.com:6001-6002; exchange-server:6004; exchange-server.example.com:6004; dc:6004; dc.example.com:6004; dc:593; dc.example.com:593; exchange-server:593; exchange-server.example.com:593; 2) WRT 1) - what will I need to do for the new Exchange servers in our overseas offices, when that time comes? Same thing, but change the names to local DCs and Exchange servers, or something else?
