autodiscover/domain names

[JayNEC]

Ok, I've got AD domain of FOO.LOCAL Users email addresses are test@foo.com however.
So, when on a mobile device one must put in the email address followed by password then the device tries autodiscover.
The problem is that autodiscover.foo.com resolves however the UID of test@foo.com is not a valid login - it must be test@foo.local so autodiscover fails.
but, foo.local is not a valid internet domain... It appears I have a catch-22 here.

Is there any way for me to work around this?

Ok, I think I figured it out.
Add a UPN of foo.com to AD Domains and trusts.

Then, change the users under "account" tab to use the new UPN.

That's not really needed. As long as you've set up correct DNS records for autodiscover, a user should be able to log into an account in an AD domain that's not publicly accessible (.local).

As long as autodiscover.foo.com resolves to the OWA endpoint correctly.
