Hi Elfieky,

You need to create an external send connector. Follow the instructions here:

Thanks for the good hint Jon,
I ran into that exact issue. My first click from Google made me end up here, with your very simple fix, for what could have been hours of work, finding out why it didn’t work “out of the box”.

When installing Exchange 2007 on Windows 2008 R2, you may get this message

“Unable to read data from the Metabase. Ensure that Microsoft Internet Information Services is installed.

eben after you install IIS. This is because W2K8 R2 has IIS 7 and Exchange 2007 requires the IIS 6 compatibility component to be installed.
