RPC over HTTP performance
I’ve been using RPC over HTTP to check my email since it was released. I remember setting it up for the first time and having an absolute nightmare to get all the differnet servers talking to each other through firewalls etc. Having said that, I only use email over the internet (as its known in Small Business Server 2003) to check my email. Our office LAN is seperate to our production servers, so we only ever access our exchange servers this way.
I have been getting reports from some customers that they experience annoyingly long waits for outlook to open. Meanwhile outlook is frozen downloading stuff. I’m interested to hear back from people. Especially regarding experiences when using differnet internet connection speeds. If you use a 56k modem to use RPC over HTTP, or whatever you connection type, then get in touch. I’ll be writing up results so we can better advise regarding preferred WAN connection speeds and connection types for RPC over HTTP.

I’ve been using RCP over HTTP for the past 12 months but have been struggling with getting the corporate network log-on screen to appear. Once I’m logged onto the network all works fine, however, it takes anywhere from 5-10 minutes for the log-on screen to appear. I usually uncheck “Work Offline” and initiate a “Send/Receive All” but still the corporate log-on takes 5-10 minutes before it detects I’m trying to log-on.
My question is: Is there a manual way of invoking the log-on screen from MS Outlook 2003?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, Denys

Denys, if I want to invoke the log on, I generally close outlook (you might have to terminate the outlook process in process manager), the go:
Start -> Run -> Type the following:
Outlook /rpcdiag
Press enter, ad this will give you both connection data and also force the log on. If anyone else uses a different method, leave a comment here.

Often have slow login prompt box when there are proxy servers set in Internet Explorer. Clear all the tick boxes in proxy settings if ticked

Hi.
I have a Exchange Server which was working as a DC but i had many problems with this configuration. For solving these problems i decided to remove the DC configuration over Exchange Server using dcpromo command.
When Exchange Server was DC secondary, RPC Over HTTP service was working fine, but now not because i have problems with certificates of trust. I can use RPC Over HTTP and OWA from internal network but i can’t use RPC from External Network because i receive a certificate error.
Thank for your help.
