Disable autodiscover
Most of my client doesn't host their own email and they are only small businesses which I
don't find any use of autodiscover. How can I disable this even temporarily. I found one and it
is successfull but comments below says that it is not good to stop the autodiscover app pool.
My main concern is that the outlook 2007 is keeps on asking for credential which doesn't accept
even the input info is right. In order to get the right @email address I need to run the wizard
which automatically creates remote.???.com which doesn't exist at all. I'm using only the exchange
as a data storage and contacts, mailbox, calendar sharing. Is there a proper way to do this. Search
in Google and it seems microsoft doesn't have an answer. I was able to do it before with one of
my client but unfortunately I can't remember it anymore. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

@brota - You can't simply point Autodiscover to an invalid URL - it will cause all manner of problems. You also can't disable it. You have to learn to live with it!
Demazter's comment is spot on and his article advises several ways to resolve the password prompt issue. You would do well to read it and stop posting information that is not remotely helpful.

Finally I was able to solve my problem without installing SP2 or SP3 in exchange or stopping the Autidiscover apps pool. I have done this before but cannot remember how I did it. Here what I have done which is all about IIS:
Under SBS Web Applications:
Click Authentication icon and check the settings. Basic and Windows authentication should be enable and under advance settings of windows authentication the kernel-mode authenticarion should be enable or tick mark
Autodiscover
EWS
OAB
RPC
RPCwithCert
Windows authentication should be enable and under advance settings of window authentication, the kernel-mode authentication also must be enabled
Unified Messaging
Thanks anyways for the help and feedbacks.

That's covered in the article posted by Demazter (his own article) in the first comment of this question.

Yes it is! Before I tried this expert exchange I already tried this solution that came from other source and same thing I followed the solution but no go. One thing they forgot to mention is the the basic and wndows authentication should be enabled and I think rpcwithcert and UM should be included in the solution. Will verify once a got a freshlyh installed SBS2008 and check what defaults that it gives before fixing the issue. I already done this to all my clients long time ago but can't remember this time.

if you do a get-clientaccessserver | fl you can see the value.
you will need to manually configure outlook if you do this.
you can also change the EWS url too.
