Hello,
We cannot seem to set automatic reply's within outlook 2010 & 2013. We have an exchange server 2010. We can setup automatic reply through OWA absolutely fine. The error that we receive is 'Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.
However we can setup out of office on any other office version below 2010 fine. We have run through a number of tests and have come to the conclusion that the auto discover service is not configured correctly. I have been told to run through the following
"We need to make sure the IIS service is assigned to the certificate which includes mail.mydomainname.co.uk name:
Enable-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint 62C247B3BD081D0A8B074D4A928A76E6DA3BABBA -Services POP,IMAP,SMTP,IIS
Then restart IIS service to apply the changes.
If the user is connect to mailbox from external environment as your test results, it is recommended to add the autodiscover.mydomain.co.uk name in your certificate with IIS service. If so, the autodiscover service can be accessed successfully in your posted second steps(https:/autodiscover.mydomain.co.uk/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml). Alternatively, if you don’t want to change your certificate configuration, we need to create a new SRV record for mail.mydomainname.co.uk to make your autodiscover succeed in last steps of Srv Record lookup method".
So I followed this and opened Exchange Managemnet Shell and ran the following.....
'Enable-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint 62C247B3BD081D0A8B074D4A928A76E6DA3BABBA -Services POP,IMAP,SMTP,IIS'
The following output was displayed:
"VERBOSE: Connecting to SERVER2011.EXCHANGE.local

Overwrite the existing default SMTP certificate?

I opened up 'Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager to find 2 Server Certificates issues to 'mail.companyname' with the certificate hash' 62C247B3BD081D0A8B074D4A928A76E6DA3BABBA' and '71ADF367E190E269C1036BBF4A09C55E62536791'.
I opened up the Exchange Management Console to confirm that the IMAP, POP, IIS, and SMTP services are bound to both of the certificates for 'mail.companyname'.co.uk
I need to know if it is okay to proceed in replacing the certificate and running this command.
Thank you
