I need to know a few things about your current configuration of virtual directories. you can simply run the below Cmdlets in the Exchange Management Shell, and let me know the config, so I can help you with this.

 

Note:

  make sure you replace your domain name with something similar like "Contoso.Com" before you post your configs. you can simply use find/replace and replace "myactualdomain.org" with "Contoso.Com" in notepad, and post the results here. other things in the generated output are not sensitive info, then relax.

    I've attached the output.  I'm currently recreating the virtual directories.  we'll see what that does.

     

    Edit to add: recreating the virtual directories did absolutely nothing for me, as I expected.  I've also tried "https://usmail.domain.com/ecp" which is now pointing to the LA server and it all redirects to https://autodiscover.domain.com.au.  It simply doesn't matter where I start, what server, or what browser I use, something above the server level (since these are new servers and even localhost redirects) is redirecting ECP.

    There is no DAG, so that's not a concern.  on the LA server, all internal URLs are set to the server name (https://server.fqdn/ecp, https://server.fqdn/owa, etc.).  On the old NZ server and the old AU server (that will be decommissioned), the internal URLs are set to the server name and the external URLs are set to autodiscover.domain.com.au.  The new NZ server is set like the LA server - internal URLs only.

    I'm running those commands now, but it will take a long time as the exchange servers are in different AD sites and there seems to be some trouble getting the NZ and AU exchange settings in a timely manner from the LA server.
