Is RPC over HTTP supported by Outlook 2000?

Is RPC over HTTP supported by Exchange Server prior to 2003 (i.e., 2000,
5.5)?

Or, another way to ask:

Must I use Exchange Server 2003, and Outlook 2003 to accomplish RPC over
HTTP?

Thanks,
Thomas

PS: Most webcast and literature state things a in way where I think the
answer is 2003 only (for both OL and Exch), but it would be nice if a KB
article said "not support" on prior version. FYI. Unless, of course, it's
support on those version in which case I'd say that doesn't come across....
ahh, ain't marketing literature wonderful? :)

No. Outlook 2003 is the only client to support RPC over HTTP/S. There are
no plans to port this feature to Outlook 2000/2002.

No. You must have Windows 2003 DC/GCs and Exchange 2003 installed on
Windows 2003. For the client, it is Windows XP (SP1) + 1 hotfix w/ no plans
to port the feature back to Windows 2000 Pro.

See above... If you have any additional questions, don't be bashful and

Alright Neo... The Academy wishes to present you with the "Fastest Response,
with Accuracy, in the West" award. They should have you review marketing
literature as customers would learn much more, much faster!

All my way of sending a big Thanks!

So if I have exchange 2003, on a windows 2003 server, but no other servers
on my network will i gain anything, or would it be the same as having
exchange 2003 installed on windows 2000?

If you mean to say that the Exchange server is the only one running Windows
2003 and your other servers (DC/GC mainly) are still running Windows 2000
Server then you won't gain RPC over HTTP. You need at least one GC that is
Windows Server 2003 to make RPC over HTTP work.
Having said that, there are other benefits to having Exchange run on Windows
2003. For one, you get all the enhancements in IIS 6 which Exchange relies
on quite heavily. Also, items such as Volume Shadow Copy for backing up and
others which I can't remember right now.
Anyway, the answer ... you gain some features, but not all. Keep in mind
that not all your DC's/GC's need to be Win 2003. Only the one that the RPC
proxy server is communicating with.

but you can try www.seasidesw.com which will let use https access to
exchange 2000 too, cached mode and offline mode.
