faultfinding autodiscovery
have installed a new exchange 2013 email server, web OWA , mobiles and IPAD's all work ok.
But MS outlook on the desktops wont open with the error saying you need to sync with the exchange before you can open the .OST.
having run testconnectivity.microsoft .com a number of times and making several modifications to the DNS I still keep getting the error.
Host autodiscover.domain couldn't be resolved in DNS InfoDomainNonexistent.
has anyone any solutions

ASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
The result you got back was correct.
All users on Exchange 2013 have a unique endpoint instead of a server name. Therefore what you are seeing is what I would expect.
As for the script error - is OWA on the default site? You can set the virtual directory manually through ECP. If that was the only one to fail then that is probably what I would do.

hi it seem that after making these changes on the MS outlook programs I still get the error
Cannot start Microsoft Outlook
the set of folders Cannot be opened you must connect to Microsoft exchange with a current profile before
you can synchronise your folders with your outlook data File (.ost)
even those I have check the mail setting over and over.
any Ideas.

The usually means the client cannot connect to the server. On Exchange 2013 it only uses Outlook Anywhere, so you need to ensure the host name configured within the Outlook Anywhere configuration is correct.

it appears now the computers on the domain work ok , only offsite laptops causing problems and I think that's a security problem.
