Autodiscover isn't working for Outlook 2007 clients. Here's a little info about my setup:

My Exchange 2007 SP1 environment is setup in a hosted configuration per GoldenDog's guide at: http://www.kortekservices.com/lyle/

I have two client access servers with Outlook Anywhere enabled and one clustered mailbox server (all have SP1 loaded). When I try to setup a test profile on my workstation using Outlook 2007 SP1, I get "An encrypted connection to your mail server is not available. Click Next to attempt using an unencrypted connection". This eventually fails even if I try using an unencrypted connection. I can setup a test profile successfully if I use my own Domain Admin account. No other accounts from any other hosted company work.

Since I am using a single SSL certificate assigned to my default website I setup an IIS redirect per http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb332063.aspx

I enabled logging in Outlook and I see the following when I try to setup an Outlook 2007 profile using my domain admin account:

Since my own domain admin account works, I'm sure this is a permissions problem. Any ideas where I can start looking?

Jason,

how did you go with the Autodiscover problem ?

I've been struggling with this error since I deploy my Exchange Server 2007 and I've come accross to several sites for the resolution and workaround but it doesn't seems to be helpful anyway :-|, here's the list of the workaround for this Issue of Autodiscover.

1.       Adding "A� record
http://www.123together.com/Support/Setup_Auto_Discover_Feature_for_Your_Domain_for_Outlook_2007.htm
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc411331(EXCHG.80).aspx

2.       Put Autodiscover.domain.com.au and servername.domain.com.au in Certificate SAN
http://forums.microsoft.com/technet/showpost.aspx?postid=2234047&siteid=17&sb=0&d=1&at=7&ft=11&tf=0&pageid=1

3.       Rebuilding email account, by deleting the OST and then recreating it. Or delete the current Outlook mail profile and creating it again from beginning.
http://www.123together.com/Support/error_0x8004010F_the_operation_failed_An_object_could_not_be_found.htm

4.       Proxy bypass for servername.itree.com.au
http://techrepublic.com.com/5208-6230-0.html?forumID=101&threadID=242986&messageID=2355292

5.       Selecting the correct OAB in EMS

6.       Rebuilding OAB in EMS
http://kb.parallels.com/en/1587

7.       Adding XML debug override elements in web.config file then RESTART the server.

8.       Check the SSL port used by Autodiscover
http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/31768202/download-address-book-err.aspx

9.       Applying Exchange Server 2007 SP1 Update Rollup 2

another blog to read is Daniel GOldman's: http://blogs.msdn.com/dgoldman/search.aspx?q=0X8004010F&p=1

any other Idea or input would be GREATLY appreciated for all of Exchange Server 2007 user and Administrator as well.

Cheers,

atedja,

I have a hosted Exchange environment so my setup may be slightly different than most users. I got this working by using scenario 4 (Single certificate with Redirect) detailed in this article:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb332063.aspx

Basically, I have a certificate for my domain as secure.mydomain.com installed on my CAS and the A record pointing to one particular static IP. I then setup another virtual website on the same CAS and had that website listen externally on a second static IP with the host header of autodiscover.mydomain.com and the appropriate external A record. The article talks about how to do IIS redirection, which should be followed very closely. I created an "AutoDiscover" folder in that second website and created a blank text file called AutoDiscover.xml. I then used IIS redirection to point to the correct URL under secure.mydomain.com (https://secure.mydomain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml). I then have my hosted Exchange customers add a CNAME in their own domain to point autodiscover.customerdomain.com to autodiscover.mydomain.com. In other words, when Outlook tries to go to http://autodiscover.customerdomain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml it gets a 302 HTTP redirect from the secondary IIS virtual website I setup to https://secure.mydomain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml.

The article mentioned above talks about this in more detail. Feel free to reply with questions or comments.

Thanks!
