RPC over HTTP: "Insufficient memory."

Scenario: XP SP1 with the latest hotfixes, connecting via OL2003 to
Exch2003 running on Win2003. Have configured all per the Exch deployment
docs.

From the client, RPCPING is able to successfully hit the server. The
server can also RPCPING itself. Both times, RPCPING is set to use the
HTTP proxy.

Using:
rpcping -t ncacn_http -s servername -o RpcProxy=servername -H 1 -u 10 -a
connect -F 3 -E -R none -P "user,domain,*"

(BTW, you cannot get the RPCPING to complete from a Win2003 machine
acting as a client; apparantly the patch that makes this work on XP SP1
isn't incorporated into the default Win2003 install)

However, when trying to get Outlook to connect:

1. Launch Outlook

2. Immediately get auth dialog; sign in w/valid credentials

3. Immediate error: "The operation could not be completed due to
insufficient memory. Close one or more applicatins to make more memory
available."

Alas, OL is the only thing running on a machine with 1GB.

There is only one server involved here, it's both a DC, GC, RpcProxy
server, and Exchange FE/BE server. I swear this worked back in Exch2003
RC1 for a while. I've re-verified my reg keys and everything else on the
server-side of the configuration.

Any ideas? I've not seen anything in the KB that relates to this, nor in
the newsgroups.

Thanks!

Dangit, just fixed it. The Webcast briefly mentions the problem,
although not in this context: You can't log on using 200x-style
"user@domain" credentials. You gotta specify "domain\user" credentials.
If you don't, you get the ambiguous error listed below.

Any MS guys reading this, might wanna write that up for the KB so a
search on that error message returns the solution...

This seems to work with XP SP1 as a client OS, but ont Win2003; I still
don't think the (Q)331320 stuff is included in 2003. Still fussing with it.

Thanks!

FYI, I'm using RPC over HTTP with Win2003 ENT as the client machine.

Cheers,
Karan
