Hi guys,
Currently I'm having an issue in creating mailboxes within Outlook. As stated in the subject all steps verifies until it gets to the point of "logging on to the mail server"
For testing purposes I use the Auto Account setup, not specifying the exchange server FQDN and outlook anywhere details. Prior to the issue I'm experiencing now it did work through this method.
During the auto account setup it successfully verifies the following: Establishing network connection, searching for the email address settings ( where it prompts authentication, once given resolves successfully ), and finally at the last step of "logging on to the mail server" it prompts authentication once again, after given once more, it fails, stating Exchange should be online or connected.
This is a new installation of Exchange 2013 Std on a small scale for 10-20 users. Installed as a stand-alone server.
All mailboxes are accessible through OWA, just setting up from within Outlook where the issue is encountered.
I've successfully queried the autodiscover service which resolves to the correct address as well as the FQDN for external use ( as for OWA ).
What am I missing here, can it be certification issue? I'm currently using the self-signed certificates exchange generated by default during installation, as I'm waiting on the releasing of a 3rd party SSL cert. Creating these mailboxes in Outlook did work previously, also only relying on the self-signed certs.
Any advise would be appreciated.
Regards
