Part 24: Infrastructure essentials Blogcast - RPC/HTTP for Outlook & Exchange - RPC Publishing

  • Article

Continuing the blogcast series on infrastructure essentials.

In the last part, forms based authentication for Outlook Web Access was back running again, bouncing through the localhost listener. In this part, we put RPC/HTTP back into place. We create a publishing rule for the Exchange Virtual Directory being published (/rpc). We also create a publishing rule for the RPC server. However, since recording this blogcast a couple of months ago now, this step is actually not necessary - I recommend you do not do this part of the configuration.
