Outlook 2016 and Exchange
My customer has a SBS 2008 Server and usually sets up Outlook (on home computers) to access it. What is the the phrase HTTP over RPC? One of their people just went to Office 2016 and the Exchange option is no longer there.
From what I read two things are necessary to Connect Office 2016 to and Exchange Account. 1) Autodiscover must be set up (not sure if it is) and 2) Outlook 2016 will not work with Exchange Server 2007.
So before I look like a total jerk and tell them it can't be done can someone confirm this?

I haven't tried OWA (Users do not like it). Have you tried Office 2013?

Downgrading I don't think would be an option. I have a computer running Office 2010 and I was able to connect it to the Exchange Server.
At this point I can't figure out how to give this new employee access to Public Folders. Everywhere I turn it says you have to do it from Outlook. I can't for the life of me figure out why it can't be done from within EMC. I mean... hear I am, the administrator and I have to be on-site with a local copy of Outlook open? Really?

Exchange 2007 was written when Microsoft's mobile OS was still called pocketPC and the phone edition codenamed "stinger" was still new to market. The iPhone didn't exist, and blackberry ruled the nest... which used its own mobile access solution via BES. Accessing public folders without outlook or remotely just wasn't a big priority. The industry wasn't there on mobility. So yeah, really. You get to choose upgrading exchange or downgrading outlook. That's just the nature of running a really old server.
Although officially not supported,you may be able to use Office 2016 and 2007,but you must have a autodiscover record and a 3rd party SSL UC SAN certificate set up
IE:
remote.mydomain.com (main name)
Subject Aternative Name: autodiscover.mydomain.com
Plus you need a cname record pointing autodiscover to remote.mydomain.com.
You roll the dice,but in any event O2k16 won't work with outlook anywhere.
M$ and their forced upgrade policy as usual.

You need either to upgrade Exchange or downgrade Outlook.
Thanks and I was happy to help.
