Scott,

Just wanted to note that you talk about cutting and pasting the TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5 entry into the front of the list in Notepad, but there's no step to copy and paste the entire string back into the GPO Editor.

When I make these changes I can then send to AOL no problem at all but then I get the following error when I try to send from AOL back to OCS

Unable to deliver your text sent to remote user. Remote enterprise user is unable to receive your message at this time. Please try again later.

Any ideas? Also do we still have to install the cert for AOL???

Should have mention that sending and receiving from both Yahoo and MSN is working great.

I have tried this fix and am not having any luck. I've run gpupdate and restarted 3 times and still no aol contacts. MSN is working just fine. Is the edge server the only server i need to appliy this to?

Yes, this only get applied to the Edge. If you're still encountering issues, I recommend you engage Microsoft Customer Support Services (http://support.microsoft.com) for further assistance.

Hi Scott,

thanks for your solution. But when I change this policy as described, I can't use RDP anymore to connect to this computer...does it need a reconfiguration?

Thanks,

Marcel

Hi Marcel,

This is the first I'm hearing of this "side effect," and we've implemented this solution on both customer servers as well as some of our own here at Microsoft.

Have you bounced the Edge box, and if so (and the problem persists), you could either set your Remote Desktop settings to "Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop," or enable schannel logging (and engage Microsoft Customer Support) for further troubleshooting:
