The following code example verifies the service information that is returned to the Outlook 2007 client from the Autodiscover service for a user who is named monika@contoso.com. The code example verifies information for the following services:
- Availability service
- Outlook Anywhere
- Offline Address Book
- Unified Messaging
This code example tests for a connection to each service. This example also submits a request to the Availability service for the user monika@contoso.com to determine whether the user's free/busy information is being returned correctly from the Client Access server to the Outlook 2007 client.
