Author how to let outlook users use RPC to connect to exchange

I have been having the hardest time with this, I ave RPC
port 135 open on my firewall, and the mail server name
does resolve using NSLOOKUP, but i cant seem to conncet
to the exchange server using RPC. I want my clients to be
able to connect and see al the public folders, without
having to VPN into the network first. I thought all ia
had to do was opne up RPC on the firewall, and this would
work, but no go.

Any help would be most appreciated

Thanks in advance

It's actually a little more involved than that.

You also need to hard code ports for the IS and SA and allow those through
the firewall. Note that this is not as secure as using a VPN solution, or
ISA server with the Exchange MAPI publishing (proxy) feature.

You will turn your firewall into a sieve and compromise your network
security if you continue down this path. Close the ports, implement VPN, and
be done with it. :-)
