RCP over HTTP


Windows Server 2003
Exchange Server 2003
ISA Server 2004
DC = Server 2003


I am trying to implement RCP over HTTP for the first time. Trying to work in areas that I am not familiar with.  I am following a step by step print out from Exchange.org.
The step I am stuck on is listed below.

Set the NT Directory Services (NTDS) port on all Global Catalog Servers that act as Exchange Server 2003 back-end Servers

Again we must modify the Registry to specify a static port for the NSPI (Name Service Provider Interface) settings.

Start Regedit and navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\NTDS\PARAMETERS.


This is where I get stuck.  Our Exchange Server (Single Server) does not contain the Global Catalog our DC is a separate server.  Am I to skip this step?

If anyone can help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you

Ok I have completed the set up and now it is time to set up my Outlook 2003 at home with the appropriate settings and I think I have done that.  The only thing I am not sure of it this.

When I am connected to the work VPN I get the following,
connection status it shows TCP/IP as the connection not HTTP

When I disconnect the VPN I dont get any connection.  I'm not sure why it is not going to HTTP for the connection.

this is because outlook will always try to connect using TCP first on fast connection
so from the outlook profile click edit
advanced
connection
mark check box (on fast lan use http first)
u might need also to implement the following registry setting in the following KB
