This is using MS Exchange 2010 server on W2K8 server. My management wants to implement Outlook Anywhere. After getting the SSL certificate from Go-Daddy, I use EMC and run "New exchange certificate" and finally run "import exchange certificate" to bind the ssl certificate. After that, I checked that the rpc over http is installed and "start" the service as service is set to manual and stopped before this. The last thing is, on EMC, I click "Enable Outlook Anywhere", with the message telling me to wait for up to 15 minutes.
To test, I tried to browse to OWA in https, and successfully logged on. But, when I tried the Outlook connectivity in ExCRA, the test failed with the following error:
Testing Outlook connectivity.
The Outlook connectivity test failed.
