Hi AllIs thare a way to see if a user is connecting to the server over RPC , or MAPI, on the server side?Thanks!!

Hi,I think you can use SMTP logging to find it accurately. SMTP protocol logging turned on by default.To enable protocol logging on Receive Connectors, use the following command: Set-ReceiveConnector "Connector Name" -ProtocolLoggingLevel verbose For Send Connectors (equivalent of SMTP Connectors), using the following command: Set-SendConnector "Send Connector Name" -ProtocolLoggingLevel verbose- Receive Connector logs are located in \Exchange Server\TransportRoles\Logs\ProtocolLog\SmtpReceive- Send Connector logs are located in \Exchange Server\TransportRoles\Logs\ProtocolLog\SmtpSend Regards from http://www.windowsadmin.info/

Those connectors are for SMTP connectings that are generated when connecting directy to a HUB server to send mail.So that not that, if im not wrong.

If it's RPC over HTTPS, those will be in the IIS logs. If you're asking if there's a way to differentiate MAPI connections from RPC, no. Outlook uses RPC as the underlying protocol for it's MAPI connections. They are inseperable.

You should see the RPC over HTTPS connections in the IIS logs on your CAS server. MAPI connections will be directly to the mailbox servers, so you won't see those on the CAS server.

Tnx, I totaly forgot about the IIS logs, ant with the malbox servers the only way i can see the conections are with netstat. Am i correct?

You can install the User Monitor tool (EXMON) on the mailbox servers to get a more detailed picture of what your user connections are. That will also give you information about that client types being used for the connections.http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=9a49c22e-e0c7-4b7c-acef-729d48af7bc9

It does have it's limitations, but it provides a lot more information than netstat.
