Lets say you are hosting many domains in one Exchange Server (Multi-Tenant) .
SSL cert has been Configured, With these below entries for example .
Mail.Careexchange.in
autodiscover.careexchange.in
In Simple Words – Using AutoDiscover with large numbers of accepted domains
—
Now for every domain you host . you cannot keep adding their entries in your SSL . that’s not going to benefit you . the recommended method is using the Autodiscoverredirect method .
like for the every domain you host . you can create a CNAME record.
autodiscover.DomainA.com CNAME to autodiscoverredirect.careexchange.in
So that you can get the autodiscover settings from your primary domain .
And Outlook 2007 . 2010 , 2013 can understand it . so that your Outlook can be configured automatically .
Click “Add Website”
“Type Autodiscoverredirect”
Create a Folder “AutodiscoverRedirect” in the below location
“C:\inetpub”
Now In that website – Add Http redirect URL
As Primarydomain (Hosterdomain) https://mail.careexchange.in/autodiscover
Click on Apply
Add the Additional IP on the NIC . so that the IP listens .
Lets see how to create a CNAME record for example.
Create a CNAME Record for Every Tenant to use the Primary Auto discover Service
Lets say you host DomainA,DomainB,DomainC
In Domain A public DNS
autodiscover.DomainA.com CNAME to autodiscoverredirect.careexchange.in
In Domain B public DNS
autodiscover.DomainB.com CNAME to autodiscoverredirect.careexchange.in
In Domain C public DNS
autodiscover.DomainC.com CNAME to autodiscoverredirect.careexchange.in
–
Wait for DNS propagation for 2 to 4 hours .
To Verify the auto discover setting succeeded properly .
You can use Below Microsoft website .

Hope this information is Useful.
Still there are other methods like SRV methods , which doesn’t require a additional public IP
But few active sync phones doesn’t support SRV method . E.g Iphone.
 .SSL cert has been Configured, With these below entries for example .Mail.Careexchange.in){kind=link}
Good One
Thanks
always good to remember
the only downside of this approach is that prompt from outlook when you do redirect…
For Exchange multi-tenancy, the software is same as one we use for on premise installation or is it the different one?
Same for On-Prem installation . No difference. just Address book policies get applied on On-prem
We have setup autodiscover redirection properly (I guessed) by:
Creating a CNAME from
AliasName: autodiscover.tenant-domain.com TO
PrimaryName: autodiscoverredirection.hostname.com.
Then doing a re-direction to https autodiscover service.
All seems to be working properly, however, when I open Outlook, it still shows the pop out saying “autodiscover.tenant-domain.com – The name of the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site”.
The autodiscover redirection is indeed working properly, that’s why the autodiscover is working, however it is still trying to match autodiscover.tenant-domain.com to the certitifcate instead of matching the re-directed url, which is autodiscover.hostname.com.
Could anyone advise what is wrong? Or anyone who knows how to correct it can contact me? 🙂
Outlook 2013 has some bugs regarding it . Try with Outlook 2010 .
Exactly but this is not a solution for us. We are using a multi cert SSL and had to add the autodiscover for each domain we host luckily this was not too many under 10-12 names so were ok here.
Thanks For Your Reply . I tried with Outlook 2010 Also , Same Error Msg 🙁 .. I also tried Test-OutlookConnectivity on my exchange server it gives a waston dump error . Please Help
Check settings in IIS .
This does not work!
This does work. Let me know if you need help configuring it.
Hello Satheshwaran,
I have the same problem, only I don’t even get that far. I simply can’t get use it for other domains then our own (which works fully on autodiscover).
I’ve got the redirection and everything is working fine. the testconenctivity fails because ‘the name autodiscover.farmer.eu does not match anything in the valid SSL-certificate autodiscover.ourcompany.nl’
the redirect works, that I know for a fact, but the certificate doesn’t ‘see it’ I have the feeling.
hi i have my autodiscover setup correctly but it takes about 5 minutes to discover settings, local and external on outlook 2013. before using websitepanel to setup a multi tenant i had it hosed on our network for just our company and autodiscover local and external was quick. please advise any thing i can do/test to figure out whats the delay?

An impressive share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a friend who has been doing a little research on this.
And he actually bought me dinner because I discovered it
for him… lol. So let me reword this…. Thank YOU for the
meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending the time to discuss
this topic here on your web page.
I couldn’t resist commenting. Well written!
It’s something so new that viewers learn information that can be used in a different way.
You can even scan documents and use inexpensive software to convert the ‘picture” of the words into digital text. Also go with your gut if something is feeling a bit funny at the interview don’t hesitant to end the conversation.
Hey there! I’ve been following your weblog for some time now and finally got the bravery to
go ahead and give you a shout out from New Caney Texas!
Just wanted to tell you keep up the excellent job!

I have learn several good stuff here. Definitely price bookmarking
for revisiting. I wonder how so much effort you set to make this
sort of fantastic informative site.
This info is worth everyone’s attention. When can I find
out more?
Helpful information. Fortunate me I discovered your web site by accident, and I am surprised why this twist of fate did not took place earlier!
I bookmarked it.
Remarkable things here. I am very glad to peer your post.
Thanks a lot and I am having a look ahead to touch you.
Will you please drop me a e-mail?
hi
great article.thanks. would you be more specific about “Add the Additional IP on the NIC . so that the IP listens .”?
you mean I have another Ip in the range of IP which is already set on my NIC? why?
Autodiscoverredirect requires additional IP to work. It could be same range or different range
its looks fine but only with autodiscover service …. How we can configure multiple namspace/URL’s (in case of multiple accepted domains)for other exchange services e.i outlook anywhere,EWS,RPC/http, Mapi/http, active sync etc. (or we do not need to configure namespace for other all secondary accepted domains)
For example;
my primary domain = ExchangeSite.com
Other Accepted Domains are ; abc.com , xvz.com and bca.com
i will configure all exchange services virtual directories with my primary domain ; i.e
mail.ExchangeSite.com/OWA
mail.ExchangeSite.com/Ecp
mail.ExchangeSite.com/Mapi…//
mail.ExchangeSite.com/ActiveSync….//
etc etc
My question is ;
As outlook access multiple services/URL’s to access or connect with exchange server.
During Outlook configuration using autodiscover All other Accepted domain users (Secondary) will be access to exchange services using primary domain URLS (ExchangeSite.com)?
It cannot be multiple Service URLs.
One Common Service URLs/ Tenants with Autodiscover re directs
Satheshwaran,
If you are using a NAT do you need 2 separate public IP addresses, or can you just forward the port 80 traffic to the other IP address that has been added to the exchange server.
24.55.58.98/443 –>192.168.1.100 = Exchange
24.55.58.98/80 –>192.168.1.101 = Autodiscover
Thanks
That should work as well. but i recommend to use two. cause HTTP Mapi also works on 80 . may conflict and create issues.
