I believe that you need to bring your Exchange server up to date.  I believe SP3 is required and possibly Rollup 11 or higher also.

I'm not sure that I understand you?  Can you confirm that you've upgraded the Exchange server as I suggested?

I believe it would help you if you did.
Thank you Kyle Santos,

I would update some.

Try with release 15.31. Still same problem (What difference between 15.29 and 15.30-31)

I'm quite scare to upgrade to sp3 (it's too old server with too much users).
I appreciate your reservations, but getting your Exchange server up-to-date is your only real option if you wish to use this version of office.
I've done this several times in the past and it's relatively straight forward.  Just be sure to do it out of hours and apply the SP's in sequence.  The rollup can be just the most recent.
Dear David Needham,

still not update to sp3 yet, but i'm founded something.
i'm debug error by turned on log  on outlook while trying add id on outlook for mac.

PS. i can connect using web owa, windows client and mobile app.
Sorry for my English skill.
No problem at all Chetta.  I appreciate your perspective and acknowledge that there may be more than one issue.  But it could also be that the upgrade to SP3 resolves this problem.  I would still strongly recommend that you bring your Exchange server up to date.  It is a relatively easy process.
Hi,
i just come back to update.
I already update our exchange 2010 server from SP2 to SP3 with RollUp18.
Outlook on mac (1534, 1536) still can't connect.

Questions that instantly Spring to mind:

Have you restarted your Exchange server after the update?

What error are you getting when you try to connect?

Have you checked that the server details in the Outlook connections settings are still correct?  They can change.

Is your DNS configured correctly?
Dear David,

Thank you for your reply,
- I restart 2 times after update Exchange2010 SP3 and rollup18.
- Same error as previous post "A time zone with specified ID could not be found" (My time zone "Indochina-Bangkok"). Note: no problem with another time zone.
- All server setting correct. It work with outlook for windows normally with all version. Also outlook on mac, it work with previous version like 15.29 but after this it's not work any more.
- DNS, no change.
Unfortunately the Windows Outlook client uses a different mechanism to the Mac client.  So does not prove that things are configured correctly.  But let's focus on this error specifically:  Is there an alternative time-zone that you can select that will still give you the correct time?  There was a bug in older versions of Outlook for Mac that would work with some hyphenated time zones.  I wonder if this issue still exists??
If you haven't tried it already: Ho into the settings on the Mac, turn off the auto-time-zone discovery and manually set it.
