Out of Office Assistant " Your Out of Office settings cannot be displayed, because the server is currently unabailable. try again later"

Hi "InfoTech Solutions"...have you seen this post:

Yes, I have checked that already. One thing about this site is the certificate only has public names. All the services were changed to use the external name instead of the internal name. Somebody in the past when naming the domain named it with a .com name that they do not own. Their public name is different.

Here is something new i found. This is the output for test-outlookwebservices user | fl

Hmmm...sounds like your autodiscover VD isn't started? Here is another great article to look over (again, if you haven't already)...just to retrace your cert install, etc. Have you tried to place the same URL in each of your services? (OWA, OAB, & AD)

Ooops...forgot the other URL :)

I  tested OOF from my house using Outlook Anywhere and it works fine.

Here is the outpot from the artical.

In the blog above they change the internaluri to a .local address do I have to do this or can I leave it with the FQDN?

I would go ahead and try it with the local address. It won't hurt to test it; if it fails, you can always change it back. Let me know...

Was does it cut of part of the message when i run Test-OutlookWebSer
vices

anybody have any thoughts? any help would be nice.

Sorry "InfoTech.."...I'm certainly out of ideas on my end.

C:\>Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -Identity "ccrrexch\EWS (Default web Si
te)" -InternalUrl https://MY FqDN.com/EWS/exchange.asmx
Instead of exchange.asmx mine was set to webservices.aspx which i found on another blog post. after changeing it to exchange.asmx and doing a iis restart it started working.
the above post with this link http://exchange-genie.blogspot.com/2007/07/autodiscover-ad-attribute.html
had the right url i just overlooked the last part.
Thanks

Awesome...glad it's working for you "InfoTech"
