Thank-you for choosing Irides’ Exchange Service.

This document will assist you in getting up and running with Outlook 2003 and Exchange in native mode using RPC over HTTPS.

A few notes:

This service will only work with Outlook 2003 or Internet Explorer.

If you are accessing this service with Internet Explorer, you do not need to go through this procedure.

Outlook 2003 is not provided by Irides, it must be obtained by the customer.

Outlook 2003 should not be running during the profile setup procedure.

Outlook 2003 should be patched to the most current level.

You will need your Exchange Login, Domain Login and Password. These can be found in your Irides Welcome Letter.

Creating an Outlook 2003 Profile that utilizes RPC over HTTPS

1) Go to Control Panel -> Mail, click on “Show Profiles”

2) Click on “Add” and give the Profile a name. Click OK

3) Verify “Add a new e-mail account” is selected and click on Next

4) Select “Microsoft Exchange Server” and click on Next

5) Enter “exc01.exchangesvc.com” in the Microsoft Exchange Server: box

Enter your Domain Login in the User Name: box:

Verify “Use Cached Exchange Mode” is checked

DO NOT click on “Check Name”, it will NOT work at this point.

Click on “More Settings …”

6) There might be a “Connect” window that pops up. If so, click on Cancel in that window.

It’s also possible that an error screen will popup after some delay. Acknowledge it and click on Cancel for the “Check Name” box that might follow.

These failures are normal and expected.

Click on Cancel should this box appear during the profile setup

Click on OK, but do not be concerned about the “failure”, this is expected.

Cancel this window as well.

Do not click on “Check Name”, it will not work.

7) At this point the “Settings” window should pop up. Click on the “Connection” tab.

At the bottom, check “Connect to my Exchange….” and click on “Exchange Proxy Settings”

8) In the https:// box enter “exc01.exchangesvc.com”.

Click on “On fast networks, connect using HTTP …..” so that it is checked.

Verified “On slow networks, connect using HTTP ….” is checked.

Under “Proxy authentication settings” select Basic Authentication

Click OK

9) Close all the preceding windows by clicking on OK, Next, and Finish

10) If this is your only profile, click OK. If you have other profiles, select “Prompt for a profile to be used” then click OK

Congratulations, your Outlook configuration has been completed.

Now to test it.
