Cant retreive free/busy time - Outlook 2007 against Exchange 2007

Hi,

I am having problems with Free/busy time in Outlook 2007 working against a Exchange 2007 server.
The clients are external and member of the domain.
I use 1 Standard SLL certificate, and have set up a SRV record to get Autodiscover to work. This works fine. When i run the "Test E-mail configuration" from the outlook client. it says Succeded and looks fine, but when i try to add users to f.eks the Group Scedule it says "unable to retreive free/busy information"

Output from server:

After talking with MS Exchange Support trying a lot of different solutions without getting it to work i was sent to MS Messaging Support. I was told there that not all services will work with Autodiscover and just one standard SSL certificate. I was told that I HAVE to have a SAN/UC certificate to get Availability Service to work. I read the WhitePaper on AS and couldnt find anything to support that statement, but still....that is the solution im going for.

I dont see why soultions with one certificate and http referral and the srv record soultion would even be out there if you lose this kind of functionality. Free/busy time is important for large companies, so presenting a solution that dosent suppot that just seems wierd to me.

Anyway..for minimal problems with exchange and certificates....buy a SAN/UC certificate

Thanks for the help
