SUMMARY
Microsoft Exchange 4.0 clients use Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) to communicate with the Microsoft Exchange server. The support for RPC is built into the operating system for both Windows NT and Windows 95. In MS- DOS and Windows 3.x however, the supporting files are installed when the Microsoft Exchange client is installed.



MORE INFORMATION
Following is a list of the RPC files that are installed with the Microsoft Exchange clients for MS-DOS and Windows 3.x:

RPC Transport   MS-DOS Client    Windows 3.x Client -   -    -- Named Pipes      RPC16C1.RPC      RPC16C1.DLL TCP/IP          RPC16C3.RPC      RPC16C3.DLL SPX             RPC16C6.RPC      RPC16C6.DLL UDP             RPC16DG3.RPC     RPC16DG3.DLL IPX             RPC16DG6.RPC     RPC16DG6.DLL NetBIOS         RPC16C5.RPC      RPC16C5.DLL DECNet          RPC16C4.RPC      RPC16C4.DLL Banyan Vines                     RPC16C8.DLL

NOTE: In the list, the C after the 16 indicates that the file is for client side RPC using the listed transport. The DG indicates Data Grams. The last number in the file name indicates the transport. You can use this to locate the RPC files on Windows NT and Windows 95.

If one of the client-side RPC files is deleted, the client may not be able to use the listed transport to communicate with the Microsoft Exchange Server by way of RPC.
