Should i be able to see https://servername/rpc ?

I'm having problems getting Outlook anywhere setup and so i thought i'd see if the RPC site was running. If i browse to https://owa.domain.co.uk/rpc i just get error 500 'the website cannot display this page'. If i do this internally to mailserver/rpc i get http error 500.24 internal server error 'An ASP.net setting has been detected that does not apply in Integrated management pipeline mode'
Should i be able to browse to this site either externallt or internally ? if so what should i see.

Thanks

There is nothing in RPC to see, so you should not be able to browse to it.
Outlook Anywhere should work pretty much out of the box as long as you have added the HTTP over RPC component which is not installed by default.
Please visit https://testexchangeconnectivity.com and run the Outlook Anywhere test and post back the results.

Thanks alanhardisty,

I have already ran the test and all comes up passed except with :

Validating certificate trust
  Certificate trust validation failed
   Additional Details
  Certificate chain could not be built. You may be missing required intermediate certificates.  
 

I have been told that this is down to using a self signed certificate.
I keep getting the username prompt as though it's connecting but it then disappears and then pops back up.

So is this the reason it won't work, because i have a self-signed certificate ? could i just turn off SSL ?
I would imagine that you can turn off SSL, but then you are opening yourself up to a world of hurt by sending your passwords in plain text.
A GoDaddy SAN SSL certificate will cost you £56.40 for a 1 year - 5 name certificate.   that should not break your bank and will save you lots of hassle long term.
