Initial login problems via RPC over HTTP... centre21 <centre21[ at ]gmail.com> 12/26/2008 2:23:58 PM I have a problem that has been plaguing me since Microsoft implemented RPC over HTTP. It seems if I'm on the internal network, I can configure RPC over HTTP, logon and never have a problem. But if I'm out of the office and configure RPC over HTTP, my initial logon always fails. My domain, ID and password are never accepted and I cannot log into Outlook. Once I go into the office it works just fine and I never have logon problems again. Has anyone seen this issue and know why it happens? I've been looking for an answer for this for 3 years. Thanks in advance.

Easiest solution for me was to open a VPN connection into the server before configuring RPC over HTTP. Rgds.
