Hi there,
I know this EWS issue has been around for a long time but I am baffled as to the failing of my setup to show a working EWS with both 2010 and 2013 clients. I get the EWS not Deployed message when opening either client. This doesn't affect day to day running but on mobile clients (iPad) a message is displayed on screen about Exchange Web Services being unavailable and I would love to fix this.
Forgive me filling in a lot of info but I am convinced there is something different about the setup I am facing :
-Lync 2013 Standard Server using pinpoint DNS (SIP domain is test.co.uk, AD domain is xtest.co.uk)
-Exchange 2010 CAS Array (two CAS hosts behind array)
-Mix of Lync 2010 and Lync 2013 clients (CU updates applied)
-Internal CA issued (which needs to be installed onto the iPad for it to accept the connection to Lync)
-No reverse proxy is configured
-OWA works internally but is not published to the internet (this is due to client security considerations which may be important for finding the resolve to this problem)
-No autodiscover SRV record exists - my understanding is that the Lync clients don't need the SRV record if the lyncdiscover and lyncdiscoverinternal DNS entries have been configured - although this is a little confusing as EWS refers to an Exchange service,
not a Lync service
-When running get-organizationconfig in exchange PS - i get a blank entry next to 'EWS Enabled' (is this enabled or not - autodiscover checks within Outlook 2010 show success and report back the expected EWS URL - https:\\exchangesrv1.xtest.co.uk\EWS\Exchange.asmx
Where am I going wrong here - Is there a standalone config for EWS when in tandem with Lync or are the default services good for Lync 2013 ans 2010 and I need to look elsewhere for the problem?
Any clues/pointers will be appreciated!
