It also helps with disaster recovery scenarios because the Outlook 2007 client will update
its profile on startup. The user is prompted to enter his email address and password, and if configured
correctly, Outlook 2007 receives its configuration and the user can start using email. This even works
with Outlook Anywhere from outside the corporate network. The configuration is also periodically
checked as long as Outlook is running.
Before discussing how to configure Autodiscover, understanding how it works is helpful. Outlook 2007
processes the Autodiscover process differently depending on whether the client is internal or external. If
the client can access Active Directory, it queries for the service connection point (SCP). The SCP holds the
location of the Autodiscover URL. The SCP is created during setup, and initially is set to http:// < CAS
hostname > /Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml . The SCP object resides in the configuration container
with the other Exchange configuration objects.
Figure 6 - 8 shows how the preceding cmdlet prompts the administrator to set the password.

It is possible to change the service location by setting the AutodiscoverServiceInternalURI
parameter in the Set-ClientAccessServer cmdlet:
Set-ClientAccessServer -identity CA100 -AutodiscoverServiceInternalURI
???https://ca100.
