Autodiscovery workaround for Free/Busy and OOF status in Exchange Server 2k7 + Outlook 2007
Hi All,
Does anyone know any other work around for failed autodiscovery service in Exchange Server 2007 ?
When trying to view other users availability I get the following message.
Suggestions cannot be provided because Free/busy data could not be retrieved.
No free/busy information could be retrieved.
When trying to configure out of office attendant I get the following message.
Your out of office settings cannot be displayed, because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.
here's the tweak that i know to make the "Plan a meeting" feature in Outlook 2007 working.
1. make sure in Calendar "Change Sharing Permission" set the "Default" to have permission on "Free/Busy time" option.
2. Do this two registry hack in every client PC using Outlook 2007 SP1 (attached snippet)
the question is, how do you enforce this registry hack throughout the domain and make every single Outlook 2007 user to have the option no. 1 as well ?
any idea would be appreciated very much.
thanks.

yes sir,
according to your suggestion, in IIS Manager Console changed the HTTP Headers back to default "X-Powered-By" "ASP.NET"
and
then i perform the "iisreset" command in the command prompt.
then all of the result of the cmdlet is OK.
However, the problem in Outlook 2007 still not solved :( [OOF, Free/Busy and OAB]
Thanks once again for your helpful suggestion though.

I am already answering questions on the other forum, let's not talk on both places - sounds confusing to me. :)
