Hello, I have been having a problem with Exchange and RCP/HTTPS for a while. I cannot figure it out. We have two back end Exchange servers 2003 with SP2. Three Front End servers 2003 SP2 behind a Cisco CSS load balancer. Two Server 2003 DC/GC servers. Often times during the day remote users connected with Outlook through RPC/HTTPS get disconnected and cannot reconnect. Sometimes there is a brief disconnection that automatically reconnects. Sometimes the Outlook screen dims and the server cannot be reconnected. Outlook needs to be forced shut and re-opened. Sometimes the Outlook.exe process remains running and needs to be killed before it will open. Using the Microsoft Exchange Connection Status screen I often see many failures with the directory server. For example right now I have 14/10 req/fail with an average response near 1400. Could the server be timing out the connections based on this? Any other ideas for me to look at? Thank you.
