How to setup outlookanywhere in MS Exchange 2010 server?
This is using MS Exchange 2010 server on W2K8 server. My management wants to implement Outlook Anywhere. After getting the SSL certificate from Go-Daddy, I use EMC and run "New exchange certificate" and finally run "import exchange certificate" to bind the ssl certificate. After that, I checked that the rpc over http is installed and "start" the service as service is set to manual and stopped before this. The last thing is, on EMC, I click "Enable Outlook Anywhere", with the message telling me to wait for up to 15 minutes.
To test, I tried to browse to OWA in https, and successfully logged on. But, when I tried the Outlook connectivity in ExCRA, the test failed with the following error:
Testing Outlook connectivity.
The Outlook connectivity test failed.

You don't need to install "RPC proxy", RPC proxy is the internal component of exchange which is there by default. It comes into picture when you are in multi site environment.. which proxies the connecting from one site to other.
