Hi! We have an environment where we have a mix of server 2000 sp4 and 2003 r2
servers. We want to deploy RPC over HTTP with SSL.

We have a single Exchange 2003 server but the OS is 2000 sp4. It is not a
DC. We have DC's that are 2000 SP4 and 2003 r2.

My question is will the Exchange sever supprt the secure RPC over HTTP. Some
articles I have seen say it will not.

Thanks in advance for your input!

No, alas. You'd need to be running E2003 on W2003. Doesn't matter whether
it's a DC or not (better not to run Exchange on a DC). At least one of your
GCs would need to be W2003 also.

Thank you Lanwench, wherever you are!!

Let me ask one more question:

Can I use SSL with OWA with my current setup?

I suppose I could make the W2k3 a GC to that end, I will have to sooner or
later anyway.

Thanks again!!
