Configure RPC over HTTP/S on Exchange 2003
I found a utility that allows you to configure RPC over HTTP on Exchange 2003 in a single server scenario. The following site has the link to the download and also instructions on how to run the tool. The name of the tool is RPCNoFrontEnd.exe
Online SMTP Diagnostics and MX lookup
This site is great for checking MX records and diagnosing problems with SMTP. It can even monitor mail serves. I have configured it to monitor mail.isi.cc, I will let you know how it works.
Public Folder management - SSL Certificate Server name is incorrect error.

Lots of newsgroup and web discussion forms pointed to this KB article indicating that the problem might be related to SSL being required on the /ExAdmin virtual directory. "You receive an SSL Certificate error message when you view public folders in Exchange System Manager" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324345 I checked that and it was NOT the case.

Finally found some instructions in a newsgroup that worked. This requires ADSIEDIT and a little bit of Exchange configuration editing.

  1. Run ADSIEDIT
  2. Navigate to the following object: CN=Configuration, then CN=Services, CN=Microsoft Exchange, CN=, CN=Administrative Groups, CN=First Administrative Group, CN=Servers, CN=Protocols, CN=HTTP, CN=1, CN=Exadmin
  3. Display the properties of the CN=Exadmin object
  4. Locate the msExchSecureBindings attribute, highlight it and click Edit button
  5. If it has a value of :443:, select that value in the Values list, click Remove.
  6. Click OK twice and then close ADSIEDIT

Give this a few minutes to replicate through Active Directory and try it again!
