I am running Exch 2007 SP1 on Win2008 server. I have got Outlook Anywhere up and running fine, I am now trying to get Autodiscovery working. I understand I am supposed to have a directory under IIS called "autodiscovery" and "ews" Neither one of these directorys are under in IIS. I have tried disabling/reenabling Outlook Anywhere but these directorys are still not being created. What am I missing here?

Hi,Have a look at this article which describes how to manually create the directories:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996418.aspxRegards,Johanblog: www.johanveldhuis.nl

Can have a look into this http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Server_Software/Email_Servers/Exchange/Q_24746273.htmlRaj

Resources: New-WebServicesVirtualDirectory Autodiscover and Exchange 2007 Configuring Outlook Anywhere for Exchange 2007 SP1 Exchange 2007 Autodiscover Service Part 1

The commands to create the Autodiscover and EWS folders are the following New-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory -Websitename <websitename> -BasicAuthentication:$true -WindowsAuthentication:$true New-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -Websitename <websitename> -BasicAuthentication:$true -WindowsAuthentication:$true However, when I tried these commands I was met with this error [PS] C:\Windows\System32>New-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory -WebsiteName "Default Web Site" -WindowsAuthentication $true -BasicAuthentication $true New-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory : An error occurred while creating the IIS vir tual directory 'IIS://Exch1.domain.local/W3SVC/1/ROOT/Autodiscover' on 'EXCH1'. At line:1 char:33 + New-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory <<<< -WebsiteName "Default Web Site" -Windo wsAuthentication $true -BasicAuthentication $true After a bit of research I tried disabling W3SVC while creating the folder, still no go, tried disabling IIS altogether, no go. A bit more research lead me to Metabase Explorer tool here. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=56fc92ee-a71a-4c73-b628-ade629c89499 Downloaded and ran this tool on my exch server, I discovered that both the Autodiscover and EWS folders showed up when using this tool; However they still did not show up under IIS itself. I removed both EWS and Autodiscover virtual directories using the Metabase Explorer tool. At that point I was successfull able to run the new-virtualdirectory commands and the virtual directorys were created successfully.

At this point I had to set the Internal/External URLS for Autodiscover, OAB, and UM using the commands Set-ClientAccessServer -Identity CASServer -AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUrl https://mail.domain.com/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -Identity CASServer\EWS (Default Web Site) -InternalURL https://mail.domain.comi/EWS/Exchange.asmx -ExternalURL https://mail.domain.comi/EWS/Exchange.asmx -BasicAuthentication:$true Set-OABVirtualDirectory -Identity CASServer\OAB (Default Web Site) -InternalURL https://mail.domain.com/OAB -ExternalURL https://mail.domain.com/OAB

Also make sure you enable Distribution of the OAB Didnt have any OAB distribution points enabled, Turned on "Enable Web-Based Distribution" under Org Config/Mailboxes/OAB and it started working.

Thanks for sharing! It will help a lot of people with same question
