Hi all. Weird problem, we have our exchange architecture setup and
working for about 95% of our users. That 95% group can simply enter a
simple http address like webmai.company.com into their browsers and
they will be redirected to our real exchange mail server address via
https.


Problem is, there is a handful of folks that it wont work for that last
5%. When I say does not work, what I mean is that the redirect does not
happen from http to https. The same user can go to a different machine
and it will work for them. Thats the twist, based on everything I have
read the symptoms indicate a virtual server issue, but if that was the
case I would not expect this to be specific to particular machines!


It certainly seems workstation specific, but I am not sure where to
look at this point. In IE we have Integrated Authtority allowed and we
have our wildcard domain suffix set in the intranet zones.


Anyone else ever see this?
 
Try posting this to an Exchange group. Despite its name, Outlook Web Access
is a function of Exchange, not Outlook.
