RPC over HTTP single server   

Hi All,
I am trying to get RPC over HTTP to work. I am in a little different
situation than what is documented by MS. I have SSL working great, can
get to OWA via SSL anywhere, and I also have exchange server pushing
email to smartphones. The issue I am having is I have a single
Exchange 2003 SP2 server running on a windows 2003 server. It has
active directory, but is not a domain controller. DC's are Win 2000svr
boxes and so is the Global catalog server. So single backend Exchange
server that is not a DC or GC.
Is this doable if the single server is NOT a GC? Would I have to edit
ports in the registries of the 2000svr GC and the 2003 Exchange svr?
MS states that if your BAck-end only server is not also GC, you may
have problems. Yeah, I get that, but is there a work around???
Thanks

Re: RPC over HTTP single server   

You state you have one Ex2003 running Win2003 running AD but its not a DC? 
If it has AD then its a DC.  You must have at least one Windows 2003 DC in a 
GC Role for RPC over HTTPs to work.
