Following our content update announcement - I would like to separately call out the release of new documentation related to the Exchange 2007 Autodiscover Service that was recently developed through the joint efforts of Exchange User Assistance and Customer Support Services. This refresh of the original documentation is a comprehensive and detailed white paper that includes the following:

  • How Autodiscover is found by domain-joined Outlook 2007 clients using the Service Connection Point (SCP) object
  • How Autodiscover is found by Outlook 2007 clients connecting over the Internet using DNS
  • Step-by-step instructions for configuring Autodiscover – including certificate instructions - for Outlook Anywhere clients connecting over the Internet in four scenarios
  • How to configure the Exchange services Urls
  • How to configure Autodiscover in a resource forest scenario
  • How to configure Site Affinity
  • How to configure Autodiscover in a cross-forest scenario

We have worked hard to try address many real-life questions in this paper, hopefully you will find it useful!

The updated white paper is now released and can be obtained at the following location:
