Outlook 2016 Crashes When Creating New Profile
We are having a strange issue with Outlook 2016 on Win10 domain joined computer. The issue is when trying to create a new profile Outlook will crash when "searching for user.com setting". It seems like its having an issue with autodiscovery but, I can set that same user up on another machine with out an issue. We also notice that when it crashes the our on-prem Exchange server shows to "Bad Password Counts" against it. The users account has not been changed in several months and if we put outlook 2013 on the 10 machine it works fine. I have a ticket with Microsoft but, they are not helping much, they are asking me to do the same stuff I have found online doing my own research. I am just wondering if anybody else has seen this.
When testing connectivity everything seems fine but the issue seems to be between the client and Exchange. We have one Exchange server and its on prem we don't have any cloud based hosting for email.
Any help or other troubleshooting tips would be helpful.
Thanks

We are using Outlook 2016 on a Domain. Outlook changed recently. Try making the new Outlook Profile in Control Panel, Mail. Restart the computer first

Same issue.
Try running the Autodiscover troubleshooter.
USSCITSysAdmins,
In windows 10 launch outlook in safe mode
start>run ...type in Outlook /safe press enter let me know if the profile loads successfully.

Yes, we have a proxy server and we also use folder redirection.
I added the "ProxysettingsPerUser" and set it for 2 and I get the same issue, if I change it to 0 it will create the profile. Is that normal?

Correct

Why?
Security has been tightened up in Outlook 2016.

Um ok, so moving forward we should add that to a GPO? We are moving forward with Win 10 and 2016. Now, why would it not happen on all 10 and 2016 machines just some users accounts?

It should not be related to user account unless you have done a migration of Exchange server or some users have upgraded to Outlook 2016 / Win 10 after setup of mail profile.
Anyway, if you want to find out why, you might need to employ a field engineer to do investigation.
