setting up RPC over HTTP in Outlook 2003

CJZ

I would like to setup my Outlook 2003 to RPC over HTTP. I have Outlook Web
Access and for various reasons would like to be able to access it through my
Outlook as opposed to through IE.

If you could list steps required to set this up I would appreciate it.

You should check with your corporate IT folks (or Exchange provider) if they
support RPC over HTTPS. If they do, they will be able to provide all info
necessary to configure.

If you have remote web workplace access, sign in and there are detailed
instructions on the right side. If not, let me know and I'll email them to
you.
