OL 2007 Auto Discovery sometimes works, sometimes doesn't
 

Hi
We are in process of migrating to EX07. In testing we are seeing mixed
results as it comes to OL07 auto discovery. On my test machines with all
variations of mailboxes prior to EX07, to new mailboxes after EX07, I have
successsully had auto discovery work exaclty as intended.

I turn the process over to the the helpdesk, and they report that it never
works. I've seen it work on OL07 with sp2 and without so I know its not
that, and its worked at different sites. We are still uing the default
SSL cert on the CAS server if that makes any difference. Seeing as how i can
get it to work, and others cant, seems that the SSL cert is not the problem.

From what we've found so far, the problematic clients were upgraded from
OL03 to OL07 using an install image built with the ORK, while the ones
working fine are fresh installs of OL07. Could it be some feature of
Outlook that wasn't included in the build, but is in the "default" OL
install?
Any other ideas?

This has be baffled.

I don't think it was a feature that was left out. How many servers are in
the network? Did you upgrade exchange too?
