We would like to migrate on-premises Exchange to Office 365 and for this Rpc Proxy needs to be set up.
After (re) installing Rpc over HTTP feature, it appears under "Default Web Site" which is disabled on our iis as we use "SBS Web Applications" site with OWA and other features, with both http and Comodo CA https protocols.
I created Rpc and RpcWithCert applications under "SBS Web Applications" site, enabled *.dll handler mapping which I was hoping will replicate the configuration of Rpc virtual directories created by Rpc over HTTP installer.
Unfortunatelly https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com states it has problems with RPC, HTTP 500:
| Testing HTTP Authentication Methods for URL https://mail.company.co.uk/rpc/rpcproxy.dll?mail.company.co.uk:6002. | |||||
| The HTTP authentication test failed. | |||||

After locally running http://sites/Rpc/rpcproxy.dll?mail.company.co.uk:6002
HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error

How to set up Rpc and RpcWithCert sites on other than default website ?
I've seen other posts saying it is not recommended without specifying any technical reason why or how to solve such problem.
This set up will be temporary as Exchange will be going down after migration.
Thanks for any help...
