Hello, im having a wierd problem, I cant download the Outlook Address Book from my new Exchange 2010 server, but only from clients with Windows 7, xp machines work fine
Just to give you some background. We recently went from sbs 2003 to exchange 2010. Its a brand new domain so in a way its basically a new setup as far as the clients are concerened.
Everything was working the first couple of days, but then the client wants the owa in outlook web access to be removed from the address. So we setup redirection and that worked fine. But it stoped all the clients from accessing the OAB. Found a whole bunch of things on the web about it and the redirection definitly messed things up. The main thing was the web.config file didnt have the right permissions. Authenticated users needed read execute. I even tried addind the everyone group with full control the OAB folder
But in the end only the Windows XP clients could download the address book. My windows 7 clients can not. It either just sits there forever or gets to about 10% and sits there forever
All PC's are running Outlook 2007, i believe i have them all with the latest office service pack.
I ended up Removing the OAB Virtual directory in IIS as per Microsofts instructions, but same result, only my xp machines can download the address book.
At this point im not sure what the problem is anymore and i was hoping someone has come across this already
I still have some steps to try, next im going to try turning off the firewall and unisntal AV from the client to see if that helps.
Autodiscovery seems to be working fine. I did the test in outlook where you ctrl + right click in outlook to run the outlook connectivity test and that ran fine. I can take the oab address from that and put it in a browser and can access it, granted im not sure what its suppose to look like, but im not getting access denied like ive read in other articles
Thanks for any help
Mike
