Outlook 2007 Read from WebDAV
Hello
I published free busy info to a webDAV server installed on same machine as Exchange 2007.
When I try to read free busy info from Outlook 2007 calendar, free busy info_does_not show. This happens only with Exchange users. I have IMAP users connected to gmail and their FB info does show OK.
The WebDAV server is set up as anonymous to read and write.
I Wiresharked the TCP session and I get this:
This user does appear in the WebDAV server.
1. How can I troubleshoot this
2. Would Exchange have any settings that I need to look at?
Regards

I don't know anything about the publishing process you have tried to do, but the server is simply saying that the resource you have requested
http://server/freebusy/exchange1.ics
doesn't exist on the server. Is there a document on the web that describes what you tried to do, and I'll see if I can think of something that might have gone wrong.

This KB shows the configuration on the client side : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827775
On the server side, I used this tutorial , but there are plenty other. http://www.commodore.ca/windows/shared_calendar/share_outlook_calendar.htm

Okay, thanks. The server-side doc only mentions .vfb files as far as I can tell (and presumably that's what you created the MIME type for, too); but in your TCP capture, it's showing a request for an .ics resource. Do you know where this '.ics' comes from? Or is Outlook doing it all by itself?

Yes, sorry I added mime type text/calendar for .ICS on the WebDAV server and as I mentioned I see the ICS files in IIS.
As far as I know, Outlook can read/write in vfb and ics formats.
There are 2 ways to publish from Outlook.
1. Outlook calendar properties as this link show. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827775
2. By right clicking on the calendar and selecting publish to WebDAV and this publishes in ICS format.

Sorry about taking so long to answer but I got frustrated and rebuilt the lab with exchange 2010 instead but your previous comment helped me figure out a few things, so i'll give you the points. Thanks!
