How autodiscover is going to work here? The same way. It isn't the credentials, it's the e-mail address that autodiscover uses. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Hello, I think the article is very useful. Exchange 2007 Autodiscover Service http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb332063(v=exchg.80).aspx But if you dont use domain account, autodiscover will be failed. Best Regards, Lisa

Hi Rich, Thanks for the reply. I have one more question. Is it necessasry that Outlook anywhere should be working fine if I am trying to use autodiscover from outside? Actually what is happening that if I connect my laptop through Dragnet then autodiscover is working fine but if I try to configure my outlook automatically without connecting dragnet then it is not working. Although I am logged in with my Active Directory credentials. Best Regards, Parveen Email- prvpnr@hotmail.com

Outlook Anywhere works perfectly well from the Internet -- provided your DNS is pubishing the correct information. You can visit https://testexchangeconnectivity.com and check to see whether yours is working or not. The diagnostics from the site are very helpful. >Actually what is happening that if I connect my laptop through Dragnet then autodiscover is working fine but if I try to configure my outlook automatically without connecting dragnet then it is not working. Besides being a TV police drama, I don't know what "Dragnet' is. >Although I am logged in with my Active Directory credentials. If you're "logged in" then you're using a VPN, right? You don't have to be using your domain credentials on the machine for AutoDiscover to work. If the credentials aren't those for the mailbox you'll be asked to provide the credentials. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
