Autodiscover is a feature in Exchange Server 2010 and higher which is being used by Outlook 2007 or higher. Due to the number of question I get on Autodiscover I’ve created a number of blog posts that explain the Autodiscover functionality:
- Autodiscover Part I – Introduction Autodiscover and Outlook on a domain joined client (this post);
- Autodiscover Part II – Outlook on a domain client (connected externally);
- Autodiscover Part III – 3rd party certificates or an internal PKI environment;
- Autodiscover Part IV – Using different SMTP domainnames.
Introduction
Autodiscover is a very useful feature in Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010 that makes it possible to automatically create Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 profiles.
