XVILLAFUERTE -> RE: 500 Internal Server Error. The pipe is being closed (232)” (16.Dec.2006 8:33:55 PM)

OK, thanks Tom. After a very deep research we have found the problem: * It was not true that all the internal clients able to use RCP/HTTP were working fine. Some of them were not able to do it. Directory Services could connect using https but mail services failed and change to TCpIP * We found that a couple of days ago, our internal IT Support department solved the problem reported in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/911829 applying the Exchange HotFix that the article recommends. We were testing Windows Vista RTM functionality and they found that problem testing OWA. * We being testing with rpcdump and rpcping and found errors. * We have no proofs, however we are almost convinced that the hotfix damage something in the RPC configuration, especially with the Valid Ports key and the bindings with the exchange server. The solution: * Reinstall RPC over HTTP Windows Component and reconfigure registry settings for valid ports and global catalog entries; we restarted Exchange Services to apply the new settings. * After that the enabled internal clients were able to connect using RPC/HTTP and we have successfully tested external access from the Internet * We have not changed anything in our publishing rule I hope this helps somebody in the future . My two cents …
