Exchange 2007 - Autodiscovery Part 1

Keywords: Exchange 2007, Exchange 2003, Interoperability

 

How to fix problems caused by broken AutoDiscovery. First off, the most difficult task is to understand that your problem comes from a broken Autodiscovery!!

 

OP: [Quote]Just switched everyone's Outlook 2007 to our new Exchange 2007 server.
Everything seems to work great except for the Out of Office. Each person
can access it using the OWA but when they use the menu item in Outlook they get the error:

Your Out of Office settings cannot be displayed, because the server is
currently unavailable. Try again Later.

Anyone have any idea why everything else works fine but not the Out of
Office Assistant?

One note: I redirected the default web so we could use mail.<domain>
without the /owa. Could that be affecting the AutoDiscover? I had to
change the link for the other virtuals but did find anything for the
Autodiscover in the Exchange Management Console.

OK, so we wondered about just switching everything back which works fine except Out of Office though you can change that in OWA or Outlook 2003. At that point, things point very much to Autodiscover.
