I recommend not using an SRV record because I understand that there will be unexpected side effects like additional password prompting. If your e-mail address is user1@abc.com, just create an A record for autodiscover.abc.com. Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Make sure all your virtual directories' ExternalURL settings are configured with proper externally-accessible hostnames, i.le., on Set-OwaVirtualDirecotry, Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory, Set-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory, Set-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory, Set-EcpVirtualDirectory, and Set-OabVirtualDirectoryEd Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Is this related to the outlook anywhere hanging when i am running on outlook 2007 or 2010 clients? How can I get the outlook anywhere Proxy details etc.....from the CAS Servers Also Is the outlook anywhere directly connects to the CAS server? (How traffic flows from internet? we have Firewall,ISA 2006) manju

I don't understand your first question about Outlook Anywhere hanging. Try Get-OutlookAnywhere and Get-ClientAccessServer. Outlook Anywhere connects to the CAS server, yes. If you have ISA, then you ought to have publishing rules for Exchange 2007 configured. If you do that properlty, Outlook Anywhere will be included in the configuration.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

>>Also how to find internal autodiscovery URL? 1. Open ADSIEdit, expand to the following path. CN=Services, CN=Microsoft Exchange, CN=Organization name, CN=Administrative Groups, CN=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT),CN=servers, CN=CAS Server, CN=Protocols, CN=Autodiscovery 2. Right click the SCP, the value of ServiceBindInformation is the autodiscovery URL.
