I see it as being of some marginal benefit. I wouldn't think that you'd want to replace a VPN with this capability, but for people like me who work from customer sites, from where it is usually not possible to get a VPN session through the firewall, or for coffeehouse kiosk users it could be useful. My employer doesn't publish OWA, much less RPC over HTTP, to the Internet, so the feature isn't of any personal benefit just now.

I really think it is neat that Exchange 2003 can do RPC over HTTP, however, I don't see this being very secure. Especially with the latest vulnerabilities i.e....Blaster...etc.. What is your opinions about this new feature. Will anyone in the discussion use the RPC over HTTP? If yes, how will you secure it? If no, why? Hoping for some opinions and comments. Thank you, Samantha Bridges _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
