The cmdletthat failed is one that's supplied with the Exchange 2007 serversoftware.connectivity is a valid test fordiagnosing issues with connections from outside the organizations LAN,but it's of no help for diagnosing problems that occur within theboundaries a a LAN.I don't have an answer to the OPs question, though. It may besomething in the data returned by autodiscover, or it may be a problemwith some initialization in Powershell or the Exchange extensions.---Rich MatheisenMCSE+I, Exchange MVP--- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
