I have an Exchange 2010 server and have introduced an Exchange 2016 server in coexistence. Everything works but the ActiveSync.
When logging into the Exchange 2016 Active Sync with a 2016 mailbox it works fine. But when logging on to 2016 with a 2010 mailbox the request fails.
If I test this on the test connectivity I get:
Attempting to send the OPTIONS command to the server.
Testing of the OPTIONS command failed. For more information, see Additional Details.
Tell me more about this issue and how to resolve it
Additional Details
An HTTP 401 Unauthorized response was received from the server. This may be the result of invalid credentials or a configuration problem on the Exchange Server.

I have done lots of little tweaks in configuration but nothing seems to work. It must be something to do with the proxy to Exchange 2010 server. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

After many hours on the phone with Microsoft and many tweaks the only solution in the end was to completely remove the 2010 activesync virtual directory and recreate it
