RPC over HTTPS for Exchange

iis security:
Outlook 2003 on Win2003 x64 server Terminal Session

With Microsoft paid support we proved that my machine can support Outlook
RPCoHTTPS. He config'd his user acct & exchange settings and we ran fine.
When I config my profile exactly (only diff is no cache) as settings on my XP
Pro desktop, it fails to connect. Since we know the machine supports RPCo
HTTPS our conclusion is that it must be either some kind of Cert problem or
User credential problem.

I am using exact user info as I do on desktop that works. Maybe server OS
resolves things differently?? Every time I attempt to connect, it comes back
with a message saying either "Exchange server unavailable" or "You must be
logged on to Outlook first..." Each connection throws an Error in the Event
Log like:

"Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. (The system detected a
possible attempt to compromise security. Please ensure that you can contact
the server that authenticated you. ). Group Policy processing aborted."
Source: Userenv

I run Outlook in /rpcdiag mode and can see that it only gets to the
Connecting... status, but never connects. I could really use some help on
this. Oh yeah - this machine does have IE 7 and desktop is older.

I suggest asking your question in an Exchange-specific newsgroup, such
as:
microsoft.public.exchange.clients
microsoft.public.exchange.setup

Your issue does not sound like it has to do with IIS. Even the failure
event does not have to do with IIS.

My guess is that your profile is somehow using an Intranet machine name
which does not resolve over the Internet with RPC over HTTP. Did you
ever see RPC over HTTP work with an Internet machine against your x64
Windows Server 2003 machine?
