Exchange 2003 and RPC over HTTP Problem

I got called into a call for one of our customers that it had been through a few of the other techs and then I got that call can you look at this please. What the problem was they was trying to setup HTTP over RPC and they thought it was good but something wasn’t right yet. I got the articles they had used and reviewed what they had worked with and then did a basic check of the work as most anyone would coming into a project 3rd or 4th handed. Took me a bit but I found in the registry where you set some keys for ports to use for the connection. I found they had the internal NetBIOS and DNS names correct but they had left off the mail off the .domainname.whatever once I added these and they tested and it worked. Moral to the story is don’t over look the obvious and assume that everything was done correctly. It was a honest mistake that I have done myself and it never hurts to have another set of eyes to look at the work when it isn’t just not right yet.

Simple Enough everyone happy and on to the next adventure.
