Autodiscover For Outlook
Hi All trying to connect to our Exchange Server using Outlook 2016, which requires Autodiscover, but its failing, I have run the Microsoft Remote Connectivity Analyser, and it comes back with
"The Autodiscover service couldn't be contacted successfully by any method"
I can confirm I have a Valid SSL Cert which includes autodiscover.domain.com pointing to the Exchange Server with the correct port open etc
have I missed something?

But I have an A record in place, we have never done it with a cname before, an A record will still work
Hi,
If you have an A record autodiscover.emaildomain.c
If you have an A record autodiscover.emaildomain.c
You don't need a CNAME record for autodiscover as long as the A record for autodiscover points to the same location (IP address) as your A record for OWA.
With regard to the test with ExRCA, will you be able to share the results output?
With regard to the Outlook 2016 clients, what version of Exchange are you running?

Because this is public DNS you made the change to you will have to be patient. Could take up to 72 hours to replicate. Keep trying the ExRCA test from Microsoft.
