RPC Dump Example

In this example, a client is unable to start mail because it cannot connect to the server. You can run RPC Dump on the Microsoft® Exchange server to verify that the proper services (such as directory and store) are registered and responding to RPC calls.

In the sample output, the Exchange server has registered its endpoints and is listening for RPC calls.
