Curious.. where does office/exchange 2007.. get its out of office info and free/busy info from.. is it the OAB? If so.. what do most set their internal name to there? Mine was set to our wan address wan1.domain.com.. i tried switching it to https://exchange02/oab but this hasnt fixed the issue... Any thoughts?

I'm guessing this info comes from the Server Config.. Client Access.. Properties of the server name listed.. Outlook Anywhere tab.. External host name.. here we have wan1.domain.com I'm guessing that there is no way to specify an internal name.. so i do have to create loop back policies on my router, so users can access this external namedaddress behind the firewall.. in order to use free/busy and autodiscover internally?

If you create an internalDNS A record for your external address that pointed to the internal IP it should work. i.e internalname.com 192.168.20.54 externalname.com 192.168.20.54
