Configure the Autodiscover Service to Use Site Affinity

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2

You can use the Shell to configure site affinity for the Autodiscover service on the Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Client Access server. When you configure site affinity on the Client Access server, you enable clients using Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 to get Autodiscover information from the closest Active Directory site. This provides Autodiscover information to the Outlook clients more quickly than if site affinity hasn't been set.

To configure the Autodiscover service to use site affinity, use the Set-ClientAccessServer cmdlet.
