Change PublicFolderServer value in Autodiscover

        <PublicFolderServer>mobile.externaldomain.com</PublicFolderServ

Edit: I've resolved the issue. Since I was not able to change the publicfolderserver value in Autodiscover I had to change Outlook Anywhere to hand out the external FQDN for both internal and external sides. This allowed the Windows XP clients to access
