Hi there
I have been attempting to setup a hybrid deployment for the last couple of days, and when I try and go through the Hybrid Wizard I get the feared "Federation information could not be received from the external organization" ..... I have tried all of the obvious answers that have been posted here, eg ServiceModelReg, uninstall and reinstall Virtual Directories, etc. All to no avail.
Is there something I am missing? (I have taken my real domain name out to protect the innocent!)
Hybrid Server : Exchange 2010 with all Service Packs/Rollups
Backend Server : SBS 2007 with the same....
