If you can’t remove them because of some error use the metebase explorer (google) and follow these steps:

1. Install it on your Exchange Server 2. Run it as Administrator 3. Browse to Wssv –> 1 –> Root –> Autodiscover 4. Dont delete it first, rename it to whatever… 5. Check Metabase Explorer and IIS Management to make sure your new Autodiscover Application is listed. 6. Delete old renamed directory in Metabase explorer…

For Autodiscover, you actually have two options.

1. Repeat the above process, with a new dedicated web site for autodiscover. The command for a new Autodiscover virtual directory is

New-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory -Websitename Autodiscover -BasicAuthentication:$true -WindowsAuthentication:$true

That web site can then get its own SSL certificate. This could be useful if you use two different domains, one for email and one for external facing web services. Autodiscover uses the same domain as your email. However if you have multiple domains for email, you will need to use the redirect method. 2. Add to the external web site and configure a redirect.
