Outlook 2010 Automatic Replies gets "Server unavailable"

I've seen this asked in another thread.  But I'm very confused.

The solution was this:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb201695(EXCHG.80).aspx

The commands in that link reference external addresses.  This is happening internal to me.  Does that still matter?

Outlook Anywhere has always worked here, so I'm guessing I have 'some" autodiscover stuff configured correctly.

Help!

I next found this webpage:

http://www.slipstick.com/exs/cmdlet/oof_failure.asp

From it, I ran Get-webservicesvirtualdirectory | fl identity,internalurl,externalurl in the exchange console and it returned that I had the same url for internal and external which was:

https://mail.myserver.com/ews/exchange.asmx

I figured the internal will not resolve to that behind the firewall, maybe that was the issue, so I ran the reconfig command with the following changes:

Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -Identity "MyServer\EWS (Default Web Site)" -InternalURL https://myserver.mydomain.local/EWS/Exchange.asmx -ExternalURL https://mail.myserver.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx -BasicAuthentication:$true

It took, closed Outlook, opened it back up, and still not working.  Ug.

Next Update, I found a computer in my network where it works.  So I have to imagine it's something on the client end?

I'm starting to see a trend that on any PC that I manually added someone's exchange account into outlook 2010 (because using the name/email address and letting outlook try to pull the server settings doesn't work) has this issue.  I don't know if that helps any exchange gurus out there.

The next day I came in and after putting in an internal A record for the same dns name of the external IP, it started working fine.

If I do a automatic adding of an exchange account in Outlook I still get certificate errors.

But now if I do it manually, I do not get certificate errors, yet the web service stuff (Auto Replies) works, so it may not be set up perfect, but good enough for me.  Thanks for reading.
