There are 2 ways to configure RPC over HTTP/S :
- With Multiple servers
- With Single server

1. Multiple servers - In this scenario, you have multiple servers in your organization. These servers are configured to function as Domain Controllers, Global Catalog servers, Exchange front-end servers, Exchange back-end servers, and RPC proxy servers.
   
2. Single server - In this scenario, you have only one server that is configured to function as a Domain Controller, a Global Catalog, an Exchange computer, and an RPC proxy server.

While configuring RPC over HTTP/S, you must follow these steps:

• Verify that your server computer and your client computer meet the requirements to use RPC over HTTP/S.
• Configure Exchange to use RPC over HTTP/S.
• Configure the RPC virtual directory in Internet Information Services.
• Configure the RPC proxy server to use specific ports.
• Configure your client computers to use RPC over HTTP/S

Here's the information to setup a new Outlook profile that uses RPC over Http/s

Open Control Panel and run the Mail applet. In the Mail applet click on Show Profiles. In the Mail window click on Add. In the New Profile window type a descriptive name and click OK. In the E-Mail Accounts window select Add a new e-mail account and click Next. In the E-Mail Accounts window, select Microsoft Exchange Server and click Next. In the E-Mail Accounts window, under the Microsoft Exchange Server box, type the Internal NetBIOS name of the Exchange server. Then in the User Name box, type the logon name of the test user account (the account you will be connecting with). Then, click on More Settings.

In the Microsoft Exchange Server window, go to the Connection tab. Find a section called "Exchange over the Internet" at the bottom of the tab. If this section does not appear, it means you might not have met the requirements for setting up an RPC over HTTP/S connection. Check the "Client Requirements" section on the Configure RPC over HTTP/S on a Single Server page.

In the "Exchange over the Internet" , click to select the Connect to my Exchange mailbox using HTTP. Then click - Exchange Proxy Settings button. In the Exchange Proxy Settings tab in the Connection Settings box, type the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) of the Exchange server.

Note:
For LAN connections, type Internal FQDN of the server.
For WAN connections, type External FQDN of the server.

The external FQDN of the server is the fully qualified domain name that is used by the Outlook clients to connect to the server from outside the LAN, and must be resolved to the IP address of the server, or in most cases, resolved to the IP address of your Firewall (or NAT device) that is configured to transfer the requests to the internal IP address of the Exchange 2003 server.
