Every day I receive emails from readers with questions and problems that are largely due to Autodiscover and/or incorrect certificates. This whitepaper is intended to help administrators understand Autodiscover and configure it correctly, as it is an important component of Exchange Server without which the connection of Outlook and other devices would not work.
The idea for this white paper came about because a blog post would have been too long and several posts are often difficult to find and are taken out of context.
This white paper explains in detail how it works and shows how Autodiscover is configured. This white paper also contains two example configurations for Exchange 2016 environments. There are also tips on error analysis and troubleshooting.
