Autodiscover Service Configuration
What is Autodiscover
Autodiscover is a technology that allows clients to discover services automatically without having to know the exact location of the server hosting the services. The Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 and 2007 Autodiscover feature supports discovery for a number of services including the ActiveSync server address and is generally available in the default installation of Exchange 2010/2007.
NotifySync uses Autodiscover to automatically find the ActiveSync server address so that users do not have to manually enter it during the NotifySync registration process.
Benefits
Autodiscover has been incorporated into the NotifySync registration process in order to provide a more streamline experience for end users as they configure a NotifySync user account on the device. The goal for the Autodiscover feature is to automatically determine a user’s ActiveSync server address given the user’s email address and ActiveSync account credentials. In this way, the burden of knowing or obtaining the ActiveSync server address is removed from the end user.
