CAS - Autodiscover
Hi All,
I was running all servers on one machine (MBX CAS/HUB) I have now moved the CAS off the 1 box. Now I have 2 CASHUBs! What my problem is, is when you use Autodiscover it's stll looking at the MBX machine even tho I have set all the required shell commands to seto all virtualdirectory and autodiscovery commands to the CAS, so when I type Get-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory it brings up my CAS machines. But still the Outlook is looking at the MBX.
Can anybody help?
Thanks,

What do you mean by "Outlook is looking at the MBX"?
If you create a new Outlook profile, can you access your mailbox without any problems?

Hi Andy,
When you open outlook via AutoDiscover the profile is looking at the mailbox server (MBX) so you have to manually change it to the CAS machine.
You can access it "when" you chnage the string from mailbox01.domain.com to cas01.domain.com. So I need to change the server Autodiscover looks at from the mailbox to the CAS.
Hope that makes sense.....
Thanks,

Have you removed CAS role frol old server or it still running. Removing CAS role from MBX sevrer will solve your issue.

Hi,
Did u setup an SRV record for your domain, which points to old CAS (now mbx)? If so,may be it still pointint to old CAS (new MBX).
How did u setup AutoDiscovery for your outlook users? Did u use CNAME record for it? Plz verify it.
Also from your words I cant tell whether internal or external OL users are having problem? Can u clarify it?
Also internal users get the AutoDiscovery server FQDN from SCP object which u can get from this PowerShell command:
Get-ClientAccessServer |FL name, AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri

Hi,
Sorry, it is internal!
Get-ClientAccessServer |FL name, AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri --- does give me my internal machine and URL.
Can you get to the SCP and look/amend the object?

Hi,
So what is the result of
Get-ClientAccessServer |FL name, AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri
SCP object is represented by AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri and u can modify it using
Get-ClientAccessServer "Your CAS Sever" -AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri “https://mail.yourcompany.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml”
instead of mail.yourcompany.com, put whatever host name you have configured for your Autodiscovery server.
Also day before yesterday someone is having problem related to Autodiscoery misconfiguration, and resolved it by adding an SRV record for the domain (if u r using Outlook 2007 SP1 or above), which was part of the email address of the problematic user e.g @domain.com. Plz have a look on that post:

Hi,

Can you send me the screen shot of this at laeeq.qazi[at]gmail[dot]com
Also it would be better to diagnose the issue if you can send me the screen shots of the "Test Email Auto Configuration"
"Test Email Auto Configuration" test from outlook, which you can access by clicking Ctrl and then right-clicking the Outlook symbol in the system tray, normally at right-bottom of your outlook pc.
You can post the results here too.

Also check in DNS, whether u still have the old cas host name there. it seems to me a dns issue.

Hi,
Outlook connect server under the RPCClientAccess field of the mailbox database. After you moved the CAS, did you change the RPCClientAccess value of the mailbox database? If not, please change it to the CASHUB01 or CASHUB02 based on your need.
Thanks
