autodiscovery change

Hi

We have moved all our mailboxes from SBS2011 to O365. The problem I am getting is getting Outlook on the the networked pc's to connect to O365 as they keep connecting to the Exchange on SBS2011.

Anything outside the network connects fine.

How do I fix this?

You need to remove the autodiscover that is currently configured. So:

Get-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory | fl Name, Server, InternalUrl, Identity

Remove-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory -Identity 'IDENTITY'

IDENTITY is the Identity output from the first command

However, existing configured outlook profiles will still continue to connect to the exchange box, as its configured locally on their machines. You will need to create them a new profile. Once this is done, all new profiles will connect straight to your O365 instance

N.B Could be barking up the wrong tree with this, but it seems like autodiscovery may well be still in play here

As above, the internal autodiscover settings would be the first place that I look at.

Spammeh and katana6434 have hit the nail on the head. I had some issues just removing the virtual directory and had to remove some SCP entries from AD too (http://blogs.technet.com/b/austinmc/archive/2009/02/20/autodiscover-and-the-active-directory.aspx).

Thanks. Disabling SCP did the trick.

Whenever I have done this although this is mainly from 2003 environments to 365 is by adding a DNS SRV record to point to the new location.
