Exchange 2003 and The RPC_S_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE error (0x6ba) was thrown by the RPC Runtime process
This is similar to the issue this user is having:
EE
I have Exchange 2003 running on a Single Server (not a DC) I have 2 DC's one is a 2003 Server, the other is a 2008 R2 Server.
We are migrating from Exchange 2003 to Office 365. Using the TES tool, I am getting the The RPC_S_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE error (0x6ba) was thrown by the RPC Runtime process. error.
I have searched the internet...did the registry change for the ports on Exchange and the port on the DC's. No firewall on the servers, even uninstalled and reinstalled the RPC components on Exchange and same errors.
Here are some links to things I tried (and did not resolve)

I am stuck....I searched the rest of Experts Exchange also, I found similar issues, but those didn't fix my error either.
Thanks in advance

Yes I did all those things....
Can you re-run the tool and post the entries that you set in the registry please.
ASKER
Here are the registry entries:
mail02:100-5000;mail02:600
I changed the domain name to "x" to hide my shame!
As far as Best Practices, what are you looking for there?
mail02:100-5000;mail02:600

The way I see it, you should have the following in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR
mail02:6001-6002;mail02.in
Please re-run the rpcnofrontend tool and correct the values to reflect the correct settings and then test again.
mail02:6001-6002;mail02.in

The internal domain and external domain are the same.
Okay - so please use the tool again and set the registry entries accordingly. You have too many at the moment and that's confusing the hell out of Exchange.
You should therefore have:
mail02:6001-6002;mail02.do
You should therefore have:
mail02:6001-6002;mail02.do
ASKER
I thought I needed the domain controller listed in there also....that's what the file02 entry is...
ASKER
OK...made the reduced registry changes, restarted the Exchange System Attendant (includes most Exchange Services), and tested remote connectivity and...
same error.
same error.

Done that...yes there are in place...
I appreciate the help and follow up, but like I said, I have been hammering on this for quite a while....

Right - 10 miles covered!
Okay - been a while since I did a multi-site server environment and refreshing my brain has helped I think.
Registry keys need to be:
mail02:100-5000;mail02:600

What do you have set in the registry here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\
Is the name on your SSL certificate mail.domain.com?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\
Is the name on your SSL certificate mail.domain.com?
ASKER
Change reg entries back.
That other reg entry (NTDS) is only on the DC's and this is the data: ncacn_http:6004
The SSL Cert is mail.x.com (again x being the actual domain)

Did you change the registry key to the post above? I modified it after posting it initially.
ASKER
Yes, I changed them back to the settings I had originally in my earlier post.
Btw....the RPC error is still there...

Okay - that's what I thought. My comment here:

Has different registry settings. Please copy / paste the settings from this comment to your server and then try the test site.
