Do you have an entry for autodiscover.example.com in your public DNS pointing to your Exchange 2007 server?
If not then you need to.
Have you changed the self generated certificate to a commercial certificate? Again if you have not then you need to.

Mestha, how do i tell if its a standard or san/uc ?  I believe its a standard
If you requested the certificate through IIS manager then it is a standard certificate. You can only request and install the certificate through EMS.

If you browse to the site then look at the properties of the certificate in Internet Explorer, then click on the Details tab, browse down the properties looking for "Subject Alternative Name". If it doesn't exist or is blank, then you have a standard certificate.
