Autodiscover External OWA URL changes
Hi Experts,
we are running on exchange 2010 with SP2, spread across 2 datacenters. 1st and major is in EMEA and another is in APAC.
A top management guy sitting in EMEA reported that he is able to see ASIAPAC webmail server URL in account setting of his outlook 2010 (screenshot 1). when i run test email auto configuration on my outlook i also able to see that (screenshot 2).
Now we want to change it to EMEA webmail URL so please let me know where i can see this configuration and how i can change it ?

The URL comes from the point closest to his mailbox : how can i find which CAS is relevent to which mailbox ?
At EMEA i have 4 servers and each server from these 4 is catering HUB+CAS+Mailbox roles.

It is all AD site aware, so the closest CAS role holder will be the one in the same AD site as the mailbox server.

External URL has nothing to do with it.
Autodiscover externally only goes to one host name usually - autodiscover.example.com. Autodiscover then takes the details and returns the correct information for the user requesting them.

Outlook of EMEA users showing external URL of APAC owa in outlook's file > info > account setting
Ideally EMEA user should see EMEA URL and APAC users should see APAC but its not happening, how and where should i start troubleshooting..

The URL comes from the point closest to his mailbox. It isn't something that you control other than by setting the relevant URL on the relevant CAS role holder.
The only reason I can think it is different is because your Autodiscover traffic is going somewhere it shouldn't be - usual cause of that is DNS configuration error, AD site and services error or the same Autodiscover URL configured internally across the entire Exchange org.
