RE: RPC/HTTPS
I redid all the set-webservicesvirtualdirectory for internal and external url. Maybe its not a big deal, but I still don't understand 100%. If I turn off rpc/https , open outlook, it re-enables rpc/https and puts in mail.server.com , the connection status shows TCP/IP but only because I have the fast/slow networks boxes unchecked. Internally our dns does not have mail.domain.com and pinging it gives not found error. In the tcp/ip settings it shows mx-exchange.domain.com (the internal dns name) so even though rpc is set to mail.domain.com it still seems to be working ok. If I enable the fast/slow network checks, then I get prompted for pw (ntlm asks me 2x for pw and then changes back to BASIC) and then it connects for https. Again odd, because mail.domain.com does not answer internally via DNS. When I run the autodiscover tests everything seems fine, I get results from the internal and external side which look accurate. Once again, internally I do *not* have an autodiscover.domain.com so pinging autodiscover.domain.com yields nothing, so all this has to be coming from AD or the Exchange server. I guess ultimately everything is working, but its not working as expected so troubleshooting down the road could become an issue. Our intial finding was that DNS scavageng had deleted the internal DNS record (it was set to static manually), external dns record, and the autodiscover records which were all set to static. We have since deleted mail.domain.com, autodiscover.domain.com and had the server register itself instead of it being in there manually. This fixed the issue as far as mail and https , but curious as to why now everyone is getting rpc/https configuration as I haven't seen that anywhere else.
