I am trying to get RPC /HTTP running on SBS 2003. I have installed a SSL cert from Go Daddy and OWA https works perfectly. However, I am unable to get Outlook to connect.
I have followed the setup procedures on
http://www.petri.co.il/how-can-i-configure-rpc-over-https-on-exchange-2003-single-server-scenario.htm.
entering
https://fully.qualified.domain.name/RPC into my web browser on a different LAN returns a username and password box. However, it never accepts the username/password combo.
Here are my test results.

The RPC/HTTP test failed.
Test Steps

One thing I did not see in the article is that you need to make sure you install the certificate on each computer to get things working.
