Configuring Outlook 2003 for RPC over HTTP

You can configure user accounts in Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 to connect to Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 over the Internet without the need to use virtual private network (VPN) connections. This feature—connecting to an Exchange account by using Remote Procedure Call (RPC) over HTTP—allows Outlook users to access their Exchange Server accounts from the Internet when they are traveling or are working outside their organization’s firewall.

This section of the chapter describes the requirements and options for configuring Outlook 2003 to use RPC over HTTP, including steps for customizing options for this feature in the Custom Installation Wizard.
