Additional Information:
The above document is a couple years old. You can find updated information in this article from Microsoft.
How to Deploy RPC over HTTP for the First Time on Exchange Server 2003 SP1, No Front-End Server

In the details pane, right-click the ValidPorts subkey, and then click Modify.
In Edit String, in the Value data box, type the following information:
ExchangeServer:6001-6002;
ExchangeServerFQDN:6001-6002;
ExchangeServer:6004;
ExchangeServerFQDN:6004;
ExchangeServer is the NetBIOS name of your Exchange server.
ExchangeServerFQDN is the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of your Exchange server. If the FQDN that is used to access the server from the Internet differs from the internal FQDN, you must use the internal FQDN.
thanks for the help!
