struggling with OAB after autodiscover record added to external DNS

continuing my struggle with OAB. press CTRL+ right-click on the outlook icon on the notification area. click

test email autoconfiguration. there is a response to the autodiscover.externaldomain.com

But there is a warning about the certificate because the cert on the server is not the same name.

No luck, outlook keeps prompting me for username/password, this is for the OAB.

the only progress is I got the address book URL

https://exch.mydomain.com/OAB/ba11614f-4e10-48e6-9872-375008c99cda/

tried to logon manually,.. no luck, keeps asking for u/p.

I wonder I need double check the internal OAB settings according to http://www.shudnow.net/2008/11/18/autodiscover-dns-certificates-and-what-you-need-to-know/

Exchange 2010 OAB problem

well, I still got OAB errors in Exchange 2010.

OABGen could not generate full details for some entries in the offline address list for address list '\ xxxx

it seems there is no cure as of yet.

I followed above articles. But I can't get OAB to work.

there is an entry addressbookroots2 in addition to addressbookroots.



my setup is Windows 2008 + Exchange 2010.



hopefully, this is not related to autodiscovery as indicated in various forums.



So far, I get OWA working and I get outlook anywhere working with outlook 2007.

Hosted Exchange 2010, what is like? where are the tools from MS to do it? there seems no tools for Exchange 2010 as of yet.

People has done hosted exchange 2007. That's something I can refer to.
