Any exchange admins?

Anyone a Exchange 2003 Admin?

I can not get RPC over Http to work on this damn box.

Its just a single server running Server 2003 SP1 with Exchange Server 2003 SP2.

I've gone over the Microsoft article on how to troublshoot rpc over http.
Everything is good except this part > http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997836.aspx

I get:
C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools>rpcdump /p ncacn_http
Querying Endpoint Mapper Database...
RpcMgmtEpEltInqNext:(Access is denied. ).

rpcdump failed after 1 seconds

I cant find anything on how to fix that error, or the cause.

Are those ports open on the firewall?

[sbiggi]

This is just internal, not going through the isa server.

The windows firewall is off.

No other service is occupying any of those ports?

RPC over HTTP will not work if it's a single Exchange server hosting mailboxes - in order for it to work properly, you need a front-end and a back end server. The front end is the RPC proxy server. It used to work with pre-SP1 exchange but I tried to get it to work as well and it just doesn't.

Hmm, it used to work fine. I havent read anythign saying it wont work with exchange sp2 or 2003 sp1.

The single server just does both.... rpc proxy and backend server.

Its a supported setup from Microsoft.

I fixed it btw.

I removed RPC services, unchecked RPC server in the exchange console and then put it all back.
