Autodiscover not functioning
Email flow is perfect and all working. I upgraded my spam filter with a 3rd party and now the anti-spam is not working. They said it is because autodiscover is not working.
I have been to www.testexchangeconnectivity.com and it did come back with some errors.
When I run
test-outlookwebservices username@domainname.com | FL
it fails.
The first failure is the second line id 1013 and it reports that "the remote server returned an error: (500) Internal server error.
I tried going to https://domainname/AutoDiscover/AutoDiscover.xml and it does not work.
I can ping autodiscover.domainmae.com
Need some quick help. Thanks,
Brad

Sound like your updates also blocking DNS server.......
If you ping www.yahoo.com for example from CMD , will it return IP address?
If not , then its defiantly DNS issue and as result failed access.....

Anyone have any ideas?
This is the only bit of any interest.
ExRCA is attempting to retrieve an XML Autodiscover response from URL https://autodiscover.****.com/AutoDiscover/AutoDiscover.xml for user bwilson@****.com.
ExRCA failed to obtain an Autodiscover XML response.
Additional Details
An HTTP 500 response was returned from Unknown.
Unfortuantely it is fairly common.
First thing I would do is reset the virtual directory. If you are on Exchange 2010 SP2 there is a wizard in the Client Access part of EMC which will do that for you.

I had to call Microsoft to resolve.
When you run the test you should see it carry on with the additional URLs, the only time the root of the domain would work would be internally if Exchange was installed on a domain controller. Otherwise the root of the domain externally should be pointing to your public web site.
What were the errors from the Microsoft test site?
