Exchange OAB expected response
I have a client that is running SBS 2008, they weren't using Exchange but the services were running and it seemed like some configuration had been done on it. I setup the exchange server and got everything working except outlook would hang and eventually time out saying "the operation failed: an object could not be found" I looked up the error code and it suggested they were having problems downloading OAB. After much troubleshooting and trying various things, i have done the following setup:
rebuilt the OAB
changed url so it resolves to server correctly
set permissions to allow authenticated users on oab.xml
there was a web.config file created, changed permissions for read access to authenticated users
now, on the server,if i go to https://localhost/oab/<oabcode>/oab.xml it loads the xml file fine
but if I browse to https://domainnamegoeshere.net/oab/<oabcode>/oab.xml I am prompted with an authentication window, which does not accept my credentials, or any domain users, and after three tries returns a "401.1 - unauthorized" error
is this the expected response? os is my permissions for this web directory messed up?
thanks,

Thanks for the response
I would like to know what the expected response for browsing to that URL is?? and if it is to prompt for credentials, should a mailbox users credentials work????
My SAN cert contains:
mail.externaldomainname.co
autodiscover.externaldomai
sites
I have created all A records and added DNS entries on the server, to use external names, on internal network. i.e. browsing to autodiscover.externaldomai
I used https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com to verify and all tests pass.
this problem is only on the internal network

My question was not answered. Once i configured the settings correctly I was able to verify what the answer to my question.
remote.externaldomainname.
autodiscover.externaldomai
servername.internaldomainn
servername
sites
Is there also an Autodiscover A record created externally in DNS that resolves to the IP address of your SBS server (public IP address not internal IP address)?
