Hi,
Some background information first...
- We have a single TMG 2010 server functioning purely as a web proxy server (single NIC configuration).
- We're using WPAD discovery through DHCP.
- We're currently migrating between two forests (single domain in each forest), source is AD 2003, target is AD 2008.
- There is a two-way trust between the forests.
- TMG Server is in the source domain.
- Both source and target domains are excluded from proxy (*.source.com; *.target.com as an example), and the option "Directly Access Computers In the Specified Domains Tab" is ticked.
- Target domain has Exchange 2010 SP3
The problem...
A Windows 7 client in the target domain (with IE 9 and Outlook 2010), fails Autodiscovery testing when 'Automatically detect settings' is enabled within IE. The WPAD.dat file shows the exclusion for the *.target.com domain, but when I turn on logging in TMG for the client, I can still see that traffic to the AutoDiscovery server is being proxied (though it is being allowed by an 'internal traffic' rule).
If however, I untick 'Automatically Detect Settings' in IE, and configure it manually (same proxy server), including an entry for *.target.com within the ''Do not use proxy for address beginning with", then the autodiscovery test works fine.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance
Tony
