UPDATED - Released - Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 SP1 Beta

Good morning,

For those braves ones willing to test the SP1 Beta in Production, although it's not supported, here goes some valuable information.

- https://support.microsoft.com/kb/981002 (for Win2008R2)
- https://support.microsoft.com/kb/981001 (for Win2008SP2)

These KB's address the Error HTTP 500 when connecting via Outlook Web Application (OWA) as well as when deleting an item via OWA, it will also return the same error.

On the Aplication Log this evente is writen :

Log Name:      Application

Date:          5/7/2010 12:56:08 PM
Event ID:      3
Task Category: WebHost
Level:         Error
Keywords:      Classic
User:          SYSTEM
Computer:      CASServername.domain.com
Description:

Look for this string :

Sender Information: System.ServiceModel.ServiceHostingEnvironment+HostingManager/42194754
Exception: System.ServiceModel.ServiceActivationException: The service '/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml' cannot be activated due to an exception during compilation.  The exception message is: Could not find a base address that matches scheme http for the endpoint with binding CustomBinding. Registered base address schemes are [https].. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: Could not find a base address that matches scheme http for the endpoint with binding CustomBinding. Registered base address schemes are [https].

Thanks to Alexandre Guerra for sharing the info :)

Have a nice day.
