Exchange Server - Problems with Autodiscovery

Asked By SushiSean

Using Exchange 12 SP1.  Using Outlook 2007.

When an account is first setup in outlook within our local network,
autodiscovery works just fine.
However, externally, it doesn't quite work.
It detects the server settings and what not, but it uses the internal server
name as the server name.  This would not work unless you are VPNed in.
How can I make it so using autodiscovery externally uses the external server
name, instead of the computer name?

Another thing.  Using the shell and typing test-outlookwebservices give me
this:

But as I've said, it works fine internally and externally, it just detects
the internal server name.
Also note that the 2nd URL on the Id 1007 is https://autodiscovery.  Shoudl
it really be autodiscovery?  I thought it was autodiscover.

Exchange 2007 & Outlook 2007 autodiscover service Exchange Server Hi, I believe I have a pretty good handle on how the autodiscover service works in Exchange 2007. I have everything setup so that autodiscover works externally - it successfully gives the right configuration for the various Exchange web services (availability service, OOF, OAB and Unifed Messaging service) and they all work fine. Outlook Anywhere even works correctly (as configured by the autodiscover service). These services are all published

Specifically: - Outlook 2007 cannot access the autodiscover service. I think this happened when I added the SSL
