Autodiscover.xml is empty Exchange Server in 2007 SP1
In my Exchange Server 2007 with SP1 when i tried to recreate the Virtual Directory for Active Sync i discovered that the AutoDiscover.xml is empty.
When I browse to the following internal url https://alphasys.bo/autodiscover/autodiscover.xmlI receive the following display
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <Autodiscover>
- <!-- This is a placeholder file -->
</Autodiscover>
I think this is the cause because I cant create a new virtual directory

Hi,
This is due to the Autodiscover Virtual Directory was corrupted. Currently, I suggest we remove and recreate Autodiscover VD to fix this issue.
First run the below command to remove Autodiscover VD:
Remove-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory Identity "cas-servername\Autodiscover (Default Web Site)"
Then recreate it:
New-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory -WebsiteName "Default Web Site" -WindowsAuthentication $true -BasicAuthentication $true
Please ensure the authentication method is identical as previous configuration.
After that, please restart IISAdmin service.
Thanks
Allen

Raul,
Once you used those commands, does your AutoDiscover.XML file have settings in it? I have checked on several of my CAS servers and they are all the same as yours. I checked with a couple of other Exchange folks and they all said the file was supposed to be empty.
