Hi,

I just would like some clarification about which External hostname / DNS entries that I need to publish in my external facing DNS server to enable Outlook Anywhere on my Exchange Server 2007 for external user:

  1. ExCAS01.domain.com - Exchange CAS A Record
  2. Autodiscover.domain.com - Autodiscover CNAME to the CAS Server above
  3. _autodiscover._tcp.domain.com - SRV type record

and do I have to expect anything by typing this address in bowser "https://autodiscover.domain.com/AutoDiscover/AutoDiscover.xml" ? because i get request time out at the moment.

here are the error log from https://testexchangeconnectivity.com:

Host Excas01.domain.com couldn't be resolved in DNS Exception details:
