2007 Out of Office Assistant complains server unavailable on 2007 Exchange.
We have a client who recently migrated their exchange from 2003x86 to 2007x64 on a Windows 2008 server. The transition went relatively smoothly and now we're running into a couple of sticky wickets. Currently, when people try to access the OOF (out of office assistant), they get an error saying that the server is off line, however if they use OWA to access it, there's no problem. 98% of the users have Office 2007 with a few that have 2003 on them. Any suggestions on a fix would be greatly appreciated. Nothing we've tried so far has been able to fix it for us. Thanks!

Hi,Please try to use test-email autoconfiguration to verify if it can get the OOF url.Please try to use Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory |fl to check if you have set internalurl.Besides, I'd like to know if you have certificated installed. What is the certificate domain name? Since Exchange Server 2007 use Availibility services to retrieve OOF settings,then I’d like to share the following article to you: What does Exchange 2007 Availability Service do?http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2006/10/23/429296.aspx Regards, Xiu
