One of the issues we’ve experienced with Exchange 2007 setup and Outlook Anywhere were due to bad permissions on Autodiscover IIS site. It would prevent users from accessing their OAB and/or receiving/sending emails

We had to make sure permissions are inherited on all sub-folders of the autodiscover folder. These are the correct Autodiscover folder settings in IIS:

1) Autodiscover folder properties in IIS -> Directory:
- check Read, Index visits, Log

2) Under IIS -> Directory Security -> Authentication:
- Check on Integrated Windows
- Check on Basic authentication
- NO check on anonymous

3) The folder autodiscover at default location:
C:Program FilesMicrosoftExchange ServerClientAccessAutodiscover

Must have the following security permissions at minimum:
- Administrators: Full Access
- System: Full Access
- Authenticated Users: Read&Execute

These permissions must propogate to all sub-folders and files including the /bin/ folder.

The other thing about OWA, you must have a valid SSL certificate for the external hostname.

Hope this helps…

Like a previous poster I have a 2k8 server running 2k7 Exchange, I have 1 problem. Only Outlook 2007 clients can initiate an outlook anywhere initial configuration remotely. Outlook 2003 clients cannot do the initial negotiation remotely. Suggestions? I’m getting stumped.

Thanks
Paul

If you have ntlm auth enabled and the users profile is set to ntlm then a domain join machine that is external will not require another logon.

Quick question: I’ve already configured both autodiscover and outlook anywhere and they are both working great. However, several users are asking this question which Im not sure I can help them with:

“is it possible to prevent the login authentication prompt from occurring when using Outlook from a domain-joined pc EXTERNALLY. ”

I assume the login box is when outlook anywhere tries to authenticate and connect you to your mailbox server. So…is this login box a misconfiguration on my part or simply to be expected and can’t be prevented? Once the user enters their credentials…..it connects them just fine. No additinal prompts or errors occur. We just want to know why it doesn’t just pass caches credentials.

I have seen that happen related to ipv6 but you are running 2003 R2..
Is this an all in 1 box as the directory calls go from the mbx server to the DC?

Make sure port 6002 and 6004 are shown as listening on the mbx server

I have Outlook Anywhere and Autodiscover working. However, when I look at connection status he mail lines corrrectly show HTTP but the directory lines always show TCP rather than HTTP and will not connect when out of the domain. Outlook still seems to work fine except you cannot save new appointments.I am useing windows 2003R2 64 bit and exchange 2007 SP1
