RPC over HTTP in OL 2007 on Vista 64bit Home Edition

[B1acksmith]

How do I set up RPC over HTTP. It will not let me select exchange server
while OL is running and there is no mail icon in the control panel classic
view to do it from there. What am I missing?

you messed up the install!!! now you have to uninstall, shutdown, reinstall
outlook and do it all over again - that's too mean. just look in the control
panel for an icon for your 32 bit applications.

"View 32-bit Control Panel Items"

but if you have the settings, you should be able to set up the rpc over http
through Tools, Account Settings, and in the Email Tab is where you would set
up the exchange server settings.

1st, you have to be on the LAN where the Exchange server lives to set up RPC
over HTTPS. 2nd, I don't think a Home edition of Vista can connect, only
Business or Ultimate as you have to have domain login rights in the first
place. .

Uninstalling and reinstalling Outlook never solves the underlying problem.

If you can't log on to the domain, you cannot use RPC over HTTPS. Period.

Thanks, All. The 32bit applications was hiding under "additional options".
Got the mail icon and made it through the install till it got to connect and
Milly is right, it wants me on the Lan. Will have to wait until I am local
and let exchange administrator do it. Thanks again for help. I never would
have found the mail icon.
