Outlook Anywhere won't enable
Server 2008 Exchange 2007 Hello I am trying to enable outlook anywhere and i get the error below. I have try to run get-outlookanywhere |fl and i get nothing but the bash. I have rpc proxy installed. I see RPC and RpcWithCert virtual directory in IIS and i get user name password when i try accessing it though i remove them and re created them. In AD there is a RPCServices under System but it is empty. I have a certificate installed from godaddy. I have deleted the own certificate that was issued by the server. I don't know what else to check :( Please advise. Error: Summary: 1 item(s). 0 succeeded, 1 failed. Elapsed time: 00:00:00 EX1 Failed ---Error Begin---- The Active Directory object for virtual directory 'IIS://EX1.server.local/W3SVC/1/ROOT/Rpc' on 'EX1' could not be created. This might be because the object already exists in Active Directory. Remove the object from Active Directory, then re-create it. Unexpected Error Warning: Outlook Anywhere will be enabled on your Client Access server after a configuration period of approximately fifteen minutes. To verify that Outlook Anywhere has been enabled, check the application event log on server EX1. Exchange Management Shell command attempted: enable-OutlookAnywhere -Server 'EX1' -ExternalHostname 'mail.server.com' -DefaultAuthenticationMethod 'Ntlm' -SSLOffloading $false Elapsed Time: 00:00:00 ---Error End----

Restarting IIS is not the solution. I have restarted IIS lots of times and it did nothing. Any other suggestions? Is there a repair for Exchange without wiping the configuration?

Well i have managed to resolve these errors. The problem resides with a defected administrator profile. I have deleted the administrator profile and renewed it from control panel with a different admin account, backed up everything at cmd control keymgr.dll and that's it. :-)
