We just recently upgraded our DC to Win 2008 and also upgraded to Exchange 2007. With that, we’ve run into a small issue of the Offline Address Book (OAB) not being able to be found and it’s giving a sync error every hour in outlook. We had to figure out a way to get the Autodiscover feature to work correctly and after about 3 hours of searching, here’s the article that set us up correctly:

It worked great for us as we couldn’t use the standard DNS solution due to having only 1 IP and only being able to use 1 SSL certificate on that IP (I did try a wildcard SSL, but then the email sync broke while the Offline Address Book error went away), so setting up a SRV record worked great!
