Outlook Anywhere on Exchange 2007
Dear All,
Background information:
Exchange 2007 SP2 (Single Box with CAS, Hub, Mailbox Roles)
Windows 2003 SP2
Outlook 2007 Client SP2
I have enabled the Outlook Anywhere on the Exchange Server,
The "DefaultAuthenticationMethod", "ClientAuthenticationMethod", and "IISAuthenticationMethods" are all set to "NTLM",
However, when running "Test E-mail AutoConfiguration" on Outlook 2007, it showing the
Protocol: Exchange HTTP
Server: XXX.abc.com
SSL: Yes
Mutual Authentication: Yes
Availability Service URL:
Https://autodiscover.abc.com/ews/exchange.asmx
OOF URL: https://autodiscover.abc.com/ews/exchange.asmx
OAB URL: https://autodiscover.abc.com/oab/01283028309.../
Auth Package: Unspecified
Certificate Principal Name: msstd:*.abc.com
The problem is the "Auth Package" is always showing as "Unspecified", and Outlook client will always reconfigure itself through autodiscover, and set the "Proxy Authentication Settings" back to "Basic" although updating it manually back to "Ntlm".
I have tried to recycle the IIS application pool --> MSExchangeAutodiscoverAppPool without any luck.
Also executed the without any help:
set-outlookanywhere -server name -clientauthenticationmethod ntlm
set-outlookanywhere -server name -IISAuthenticationmethod ntlm
Set-OutlookProvider EXPR -CertPrincipalName "msstd:post.ourdomain.edu"
Your help will be much appreciated!

Hi Jonas,
Thank you very much for your help, it is a great article.
I found out the problem was related to the "Outlookprovider" configuration.
After execute
set-outlookprovider -server $null
The problem was resolved, and the Auth Package showing "NTLM" without any further configuration. It was really a pain we have to go through all these strange configuration to get it working.
Thanks again.

HI Jonas,
Just wondering if you got any good link about the following topics:
1. ISA with Exchange 2007/2010
2. How does Exchange 2007/2010 work with Multiple CAS environment. e.g. How does user know who CAS they should use manually or through autodiscover service if it is a multiple location/countries deployment.
Thanks

Hi
1. ISA 2006 works with Exchange 2003/2007/2010
2. Use CAS array and point ISA to the array
Hope this works for youJonas Andersson MCTS: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007/2010 | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010 | MCSE/MCSA Blog:
