Run your test at www.testexchangeconnectivity.com for autodiscover and post the results. Also check the NTFS permissions your autodiscover.xml files on your CAS and make sure authenticated users have read & execute, list folder contents, read.

Where is your OAB Generation pointed ? Where is your current OAB? Which version of outlook you are using ? IN Exchange OAB folder required permission are set ? Do you have made the SRV record in DNS for your AutoDiscover? You are not able to connect internally and externally both ?

Could someone can help me pls :) Thanks Yes, you need to add that registry entry. Are the OAB URL errors happening for internal users as well? For the URL errors, please post the output of Get-OabVirtualDirectory -Server <CAS Server> | Fl What you need to check specifically is the what is set for URLs, what is set for RequireSSL and compare that with what Outlook thinks its connecting to when test Email AutoConfiguration. ALso ensure your the AutodiscoverServiceInternalUri is set correctly using Set-ClientAccessServer and that the internal and externalURLs are valid when checked with Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory

they have not put a A record as Autodiscover.abc.com in isp, i checked with a machine which has not connected to internet those computers doesnot have this issue. Thanks a lot for the help.
