exchange rpc over http 2

[Matt85]

I can't seem to get my Outlook 03 to connect to the exchange 2003 sp1 server at the office. I have followed all of the steps in the guide on the RWW to set it up. I think the problem is because I have sbs serve the ssl certificate and even though I add it to my store it still asks me if I want to accept it everytime I go to outlook web access. Do you think it could be my IE that is messed up? I have tried everything to add it but it still asks me everytime if I want to accept. Or could it be another issue with Exchange?

Make certain that the certificate matches the FQDN of the server. Then, visit

http://fqdn/certsrv

and install the root certificate.

Also, make sure you have run through the connect to the Internet wizard int he To Do list on SBS to be sure you selected to allow Outlook over HTTP.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Matt,

It doesn't look as though you have created a proper FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) host record at GoDaddy that points to your SBS's Public IP Address.

How are you getting to RWW? Or did you access this locally?

Okay then... you did put the wrong FQDN in the certificate field when you ran the CEICW. When you view the certificate and click on the Details Tab, then click on Issuer you'll see this:

CN = reynoldspark.com <<<---- SHOULD BE reynolds.reynoldspark.com
CN = companyweb
CN = REYNOLDS
CN = localhost
CN = REYNOLDS.ReynoldsPark.local

Rerun the CEICW and put reynolds.reynoldspark.com in the Certificate screen and then you'll be good to go.

Now you're starting to get it! It's really tough to fully understand how all of these "separate" parts relate to eachother... there's a decent overview at

http://sbsurl.com/net101,

but it's still not that good.

My next writing project is to describe the relationship of Internet, Intranet, Active Directory and Email. Maybe I'll just draw a big "Where's Waldo" picture.
