How to change exchange internals/externals URL’s
As a result the free&busy become unavailable and grey out lines pop on both outlook when scheduling meeting and on OWA on the same page . First thing is to check the Obvious and find if the autodiscover DNS record is set right, the best place to start is with Microsoft Remote Connectivity Analyzer , You can check “Outlook Autodiscover”  there . After passing that stage check your connectivity internal with :

Test-OutlookWebServices -identity <your email or alias>

You should get success’s on all the test how ever if you get error massage regarding client access server :

Id : 1011 

Type : Error 

Message : When querying Availability for the recipient e-mail address user@your_domain.com , the following error code and message we are received:
ErrorServiceDiscoveryFailed:Unable to find a Client Access server that can serve a request for an intraforest mailbox SMTP:user@your_domain.com 

AND

Id : 1025

Type : Error

Message : [EXCH] Error contacting the AS service at https://<Your FQDN>/EWS/Exchange.asmx. Elapsed time was 15 milliseconds.

That could mean you are missing some External/external URL’s in webservicesvirtualdirectory , run :

Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory | fl name,*url*

Make sure you have them all covered including InternalNLBBypassUrl , you should get :

Name                 : EWS (Default Web Site)
InternalNLBBypassUrl : https://<FQDN of your server>/ews/exchange.asmx
InternalUrl          : https://<FQDN of your server>/EWS/Exchange.asmx
ExternalUrl          : https://<External FQDN of your server>/ews/exchange.asmx

If missing just add them, example to add internalNLBBypassUrl URL :

set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -Identity "<Server name>\EWS (Default Web Site)" -InternalNLBBypassUrl https://<FQDN of your server>/EWS/Exchange.asmx

After resetting your IIS running IISRESET from command prompt your free busy potion will work again !


Good Luck
