Does anyone know if this apply to 2010? http://www.confusedamused.com/notebook/oab-never-downloads-for-outlook-2007-clients-with-exchange-2007-on-server-2008/
First – the same bug that affects Outlook Anywhere on Server 2008 apparently does a number on the OAB too. The solution is to turn off kernel-mode authentication in IIS. Run this command to fix that issue and you’re halfway there. I ran across some blog that mentioned Rollup Update 7 may include this change by default. C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config /section:system.webServer/security/authentication/windowsAuthentication /useKernelMode:false Second – I had enabled a redirect at the Default Web Site root to dump clients to the /owa folder gracefully using the Microsoft methodology at Technet. If you read the procedure you’ll notice setting the redirect at the root sets the same redirect on every single virtual directory. So, you need to go in to each virtual directory and undo the change you made for the root. This works fine, or appears to until your Outlook 2007 client tries to download the OAB and hangs forever.
