Deploying Polycom CX700 Phone within a Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Environment
Outlook 2007 uses Active Directory Service Connections Points (SCP) and DNS SRV records to locate Exchange Server 2007 CAS. However, the device does not support these additional methods.
The Autodiscover service finds and presents the various URLs that are used to interact with Exchange Web Services and information about how to connect Outlook 2007 to Exchange Server 2007. The device uses those URLs to retrieve the Outlook contacts, call logs, and voice mails from Exchange Server 2007.
