Hi guys, sorry for the non-reply but we were extremely busy and I had to hand it off to someone else to research.

I've just spent 30min trying to find the solution we implemented but here are the details:
http://www.roxx.com.au/cms/index2.php?option=com_...

I haven't read the document but our solution is based on this…
we deployed an autodiscover.reg file which includes:
********************
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice12.0OutlookAutoDiscover]
"PreferLocalXML"=dword:00000001
"DOMAIN1.COM"="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\OutlookAutoDiscover\DOMAIN1.COM.XML"
"DOMAIN2.COM"="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\OutlookAutoDiscover\DOMAIN2.COM.XML"
******************

more to come…

If so, Outlook 2007 will query for autodiscover.smtpdomain.com. And because that smtpdomain is at your university where they do have Exchange 2007, the Outlook 2007 users will get a response. PS. I'm not sure how to upload a picture. I have that feature enabled but I don't see any documentation on how to do it. I have a new comment system I just added a few days ago so I'm still getting used to how to get things working. For now, you can just provide a link.

Something to note is that the primary SMTP points to the university and they DO have Exchange 2007 servers, but once again, no ties via AD between them and us, nor is our Exchange system tied in to theirs in any way other that forwarding e-mail...

Have you ever had one in your environment but didn't graciously uninstalled? Can you post a screenshot of your error? You shouldn't be getting autodiscover messages.
