Exchange under Mountain Lion

Are these fixes for Mail or Outlook? Please tell me someone has a suggestion for Outlook.

Hi AveryCNesbitt,

these fixes are for Mail. Outlook 2011 is working as expected on my side on mountain lion. for Outlook 2011 are no fixes required here.

Best Regards,

Hi,

I checked our Exchange-Server settings and they used autodiscover. Unfortunately it submitted the internal server for intern and extern use. I chaged it with our ITs and it works perfectly now.

Still Apple should allow users to "switch off" autodiscover or just allow them to set the server settings manually.

This is the way how to configure the Exchangeserver:

Use on the Exchange Server Shell the command: Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory |fl identity,internalurl,externalurl

and check the server settings. You need to start the shell as an administrator.

If the entries are wrong change them using these instructions:

Thanks to subsriram. That was the right hint!!!!

And please Apple follow my above suggestion.

Cheers,

zarrsten

@awdavis55 did you have that phone call again? Please ask them why they released http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4363 and if they're going to work on this problem or if they're just don't feel repsonsible.

I was shocked when I read TS4363...

These solutions are futile trials, nothing works for!!. APPLE PLEASE COME TO THE PARTY. FOR A COMPANY THE SIZE YOU ARE YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COME UP WITH A PATCH BY NOW.!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS VERY SHAMEFUL RELEASING AND STILL ADVERTISING OS ML WITH AN EXCHNAGE PROBLEM. THIS IS THE MOST VIEWED THREAD IN EXCESS OF 28 000. PLEASE HEAR US.

Can someone confirm @zarrsten's point? Does this work? If yes I'll contact my administrator to make the changes.

I swear on my whole Apple products here: next time I'm on a keynote where a new OSX release is going to be anounced I'll stand up and'll ask as loud as I can:

"WILL MAIL BE ABLE TO CONNECT TO MY EXCHANGE SERVER AFTER UPDATING THE OS...?"

Don't care if they take me away, arrest me or brain wash me... . Unbelievable Apple - your b2c communication is really really bad.

And: I don't understand why Apple doesn't post anything here like "Guys, we're working on it" or "Guys, we're not working on it".

This is called communication.

I've confirmed the autodiscover settings are correct and it still doesn't work on Mountain Lion (opposed to Lion and Snow Leopard)...

I'll watch any keynote from now on 😉

Not to take sides on this matter but don't you think the message right before yours (from Zarrsten) explains what is taking place? If the statement from Zarrsten is true then why do you blame Apple for the fact that our Exchange servers are not setup correctly?

Did you use the GUI or the Shell to confirm the settings wthin Exchange Server? Because it didn't work for me just changing the settings in the GUI. I needed to do this in the Exchange Server Shell like I discribed.

A few posts back: Re: Exchange under Mountain Lion

I don't beleve that Apple cannot fix this, because ervery device we have and our customers have words with our system. Only devices with Muntain Lion haves this problem.

Apple made a mistake on this one!! Communicate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have used the exact same method as described on that blogpost. Everything the autodiscover test returns is correct. A few weeks ago I checked the same settings with one of the Exchange admins on a Microsoft website to validate settings (a free, hosted service from MS) and that was also correct. But does that matter? I have co-workers still on Snow Leopard: no problem, co-workers on Lion: no problem. Co-workers on Mountain Lion: problem. Where would you think the problem lie?

This site? https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com

Yes, that's the one. I was about to add that to my post, but you just beat me to it 😁
