Hi Marco,

 

I was wondering if you could please take a look at this email below and let me 
know if it can be passed onto someone at your ISP for them to look at?  We 
would like a record to be added as per the email conversation below.so, 
hopefully you have an English speaker at your ISP?

 

Thanks, please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Matthew

Franz - can you take care of adding the SRV records for these domains?  If we 
cannot add the SRV records, then auto-discovery for Outlook Anywhere will not 
function properly for those users that use these domains as their primary 
email domain.  If we cannot add SRV records for these domains, is this 
functionality (see below) important enough to delay the migrations scheduled 
for this Friday until they can be added?

Outlook 2007 and the Autodiscover Service 

The Autodiscover service uses a user's e-mail address or domain account to 
automatically configure the user's profile. By using the e-mail address or 
domain account, the Autodiscover service provides the following information 
to the client computer that is running Outlook 2007:

·         The user's display name.

·         Separate connection settings for internal and external connectivity.

·         The location of the user's Exchange 2007 server that has the Mailbox 
server role installed.

·         The URLs for Exchange features such as free/busy information, UM, 
and the OAB.

·         Outlook Anywhere server settings. Outlook Anywhere was formerly 
known as RPC over HTTP.

So when a user starts Outlook 2007 for the first time, they no longer have to 
specify any information if their computer is joined to the domain. Outlook 
2007 will start, gather the information automatically, log the user on to 
their mailbox, and begin retrieving information from your Exchange 
deployment.

Administrators will also be pleased to hear that, when a user's Microsoft 
Exchange information changes, Outlook automatically reconfigures the user's 
profile by using the Autodiscover service. For example, a user's mailbox is 
moved or the client is unable to connect to the user's mailbox or to 
available Exchange features. Outlook will contact the Autodiscover service 
and automatically update the user's Outlook profile to include the 
information that is required to connect to their mailbox to the available 
Exchange features.
