SYMPTOMS

In a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 environment, the Autodiscover service for ActiveSync does not work for users in sites that do not have the ExternalURL property set. If a site does not face the Internet, the ExternalURL property is not set. Therefore, the Autodiscover service for ActiveSync works only within the site. Users who are in a site that does not face the Internet cannot be discovered. Additionally, mobile device users are requested to enter the server name manually.
