From: Ace Fekay [MVP - Directory Services, MCT] on 20 Apr 2010 22:37 There was another thread awhile back with someone having a similar problem. I searched for it, but I can't find it. Keep in mind, the default location in WIndows Explorer for Exchange 2007 with SBS 2008, is in the following path: C:\Program Files\Windows Small Business Server\Bin\WebApp\SBS Web Applications Doyou see an Autodiscover subfolder?
