Exchange 2007 SBS 2008 autodiscover.xml You do not have permission to view this directory or page.

Hi there, i have exhausted my knowledge on this one. Im trying to get the OOF working for a domain im now looking after.

After re pointing all the addresses to the correct ones creating DNS records, testing with  the outlook test auto configuration. checking the permissions on the IIS autodiscover and now using the https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com i get one last error which i hope once solved will allow the OOF to work

When visting https://autodiscover.mydomain.com/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml i get You do not have permission to view this directory or page.

on the ms test site i get the following error

      Attempting to send an Autodiscover POST request to potential Autodiscover URLs.
       Autodiscover settings weren't obtained when the Autodiscover POST request was sent.

I found the problem there, it was the internal and external url for the active sync.

Now the microsoft test passes for auto discover but i still cant get the OOO working, i still get a

Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is currently unavailable
Exchange 2007 Sp1 is no longer supported.
Download and install Exchange 2007 Sp3 (it is fully SBS aware) and then the latest rollup. I would bring the server up to date before I do anything else.

Once complete, run the fix my network wizard in the SBS console. As this is an SBS server you need to manage it in the way that SBS expects, otherwise you will break things quite badly. SBS 2008 makes changes that are not standard to the Exchange configuration, so it is important the wizard is used.

Yep cheers simon, we are suggesting to this client to get them moved to a hosted exchange solution as their ISP speed is so poor for their in house exchange server, so im a bit reluctant to upgrade them to SP3 with the fear of SP3 breaking anything. Would you upgrade to SP3 or wait?
