Hi,

I am reading through the Exchange Server 2003 RPC over http deployment scenarios from Microsoft.

They causually drop that I need to insert the ExchangeServer FQDN (the fully qualified domain name of the Exchange Server).

How the heck do I determine what the FQDN is?

I know the domain name of the server and the name of the server.... Beyond that I am clueless. Thanks.

The fqdn can be whatever you want it to be. What I would suggest you do is make it servername.domain.com where servername is the netbios name of your server and the domain.com part is obvious.
You will need to create (or get the ISP to create) an A record in dns pointing at the IP address on which you're exposing exchange.
The name must be the same as the name on the certificate. If there is a mismatch you won't get the usual certificate popup box like you would with OWA.
