Autodiscovery issue
I am at a company that has a very strange setup.The internal domainname is company.com but after they picked the name, they realized someone else had the name company.com registered on the internet. So the internal name stayed company.com but the externalname iscom-pany.com. This is causing an issue with Outlook Anywhere and Autodiscovery. What happens is that after they connect to the server through the name mail.com-pany.comAutodiscovery needs to resolve the actual server name exchangeserver.company.com. DNS is finding company.com published externally to the other guys and thereforekeeps coming up with a windowasking to allow a redirect to this other website to configure the client. If you check the box to stop asking, it keeps asking. If you justhit cancel things workbut everytime a send/recieve happens, it comes up again. Outlook 2003 clients do not have the issue but of course 2007 clients do since they are using Autodiscovery. Is there a way around this or at least to turn the Autodiscovery feature of the 2007 client off until the company procures the name (court battle, could take years)? Thanks in advance!
