Hi everyone,
We use Raptor firewall on NT4 SP6. We also have Exchange 5.5 and outlook users for MAC and PC clients. Outlook uses RPC port 135 to handshake with exchange and as you may know, RPC port is a reserved port for any NT based firewall and Outlook conflicts with the firewall server on port 135.
Microsoft's solution to this is to create 3 registries for predefined ports so that outlook tries to connect on port 135 and automatically select the port you assigned. This solution still creates a few major problems:
MAC Outlook users can never connect
Sometimes remote users can not connect
Exchange connectivity is not stable. we had to reboot the server 2 times in one week with this setting.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
