Microsoft Tips and Hints.
This area deals mostly with Microsoft Exchange 2007. Also some material on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and 2008.
I cannot apply the KB 974176 to my Windows Server 2008 system. (Not 2008 R2).
When viewing the KB article you can see downloads are available for Server 2008 R2 but not for Server 2008.
You receive a message when running the patch, "Update does not apply to this system."
This patch fixes daylight savings issues for Western Australia and Egypt.
Outlook Anywhere not working with Exchange 2007 on Microsoft Windows Server 2008.
Exchange claims that everything is fine. See the following to test:
Test-OutlookWebServices with the -ClientAccessServer switch to test your AutoDiscover Services. (Taken from this great article: http://blogs.dirteam.com/blogs/sanderberkouwer/archive/2007/03/10/exchange-server-2007-and-the-active-directory-part-5.aspx ).
Tests using: http://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com/ show the following error:
"rpc_s_server_unavailable error 0x6ba was thrown by the rpc runtime"
You will probably also see the following error in your Application Event log on the Exchange server:
NSPI Proxy listen port on transport Rpc/HTTP (v6) is being overridden by registry setting System\Current Control Set\Services\MSExchangeSA\Parameters\Rpc/HTTP NSPI Port. NSPI Proxy will listen on port 6004 on this transport. Event ID: 9091
Other symptoms:
Outlook 2003 or 2007 will not connect from outside the network using the proxy address you have set up, you will be prompted for password multiple times, you will not get name underlinedor server underlined in Outlook mail account setup.
If you have another Exchange 2007 in the organisation at a different address, it may use that and connect instead, this is a workaround, (assuming that server doesn't have the same issue).
Autodiscover appears to be working fine.
When doing a send/receive from Microsoft Outlook 2007 you receive an error such as:
address book reported error (0x80070422) : Unknown Error 0x80070422
Server is Exchange 2007 in a mixed environment, (Exchange 2K3 and 2K7).
