SBS2003 and Outlook Anywhere

I have many SBS 2003 installs and Outlook RPC over HTTPS has worked flawslessly for years on many different client systems (XP, Vista and Win 7). Recently the Win 7 SP1 machines cannot connect with the credintals prompt. I have the cert installed and do not get the SSL warning on OWA or RWW. If I install XP Mode on the Windows 7 box, which I had to do to get it to work, it works OK.

I have 30 or machines (Windows 7 Home Premium, Vista and XP) all doing this only recently am I getting this problem. I know full well that getting a public cert may help, but can anyone help me understand why this happening and how to fix it?

Thanks,

Joe

Are you using a different version of Outlook on the Win 7 machines?

Check to see if in the exchange proxy settings if you have autoconfig, basic, or NTLM authentication. Make sure it is not set for autoconfig if you are using a self signed cert.

Also is the cert one from your networks Cert authority or the one that was initialy installed with the server? If is is, then try creating a cert from your DC.

I have been trying Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 and all of them fail. To this server I have other xp machines doing Outlook Anywhere and this is happening on one other server.

I have basic authentication.

The cert is the one that was initially installed and expires in two years.

Thanks,

It is a cert issue I am sure and Exchange Connectivity fails on the self signed cert with Win 7 sp1, but on same machine XP it works OK.
