and

A process serving application pool 'MSExchangeAutodiscoverAppPool' suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service. The process id was '23148'. The data field contains the error number.

Both Exchange Server 2016 boxes are running on Server 2012 R2, all patched etc, the exchange 2013 box is patched also.

Any ideas?
