Outlook 2013 and Exchange 2016 “The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action”

exchangeoutlook

I just installed and get everything to work with my new Exchange 2016 server, but when i adding it to Outlook 2013 i autodiscover setup works and it says restart outlook.

After restarted outlook i getting a message saying: "The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action." and after klicked OK i getting a window to check the mailbox name on the exchange server but nothing works.

After closeing that window the profile for the exchange server is gone.

I alrady have 2 mailbox accounts from another exchange server in outlook that works fine, not from same exchange server, this is a new fresh exchange server i trying to get all to work.

I have seen many people has this problem becouse some old .pst file and stuff but i have tried everything i finding and tried on 2 computers that has outlook with other exchange accounts working.

Do anyone got any tip what it can be?

Edit: I have now upgraded to Office 2016 and latest windows updates to see if updates doing anything but still getting same error, now with Outlook 2016 i get it when adding the account/profile, see screenshot:

Like you can see in this screenshot the autodsicover works and my webmail works but getting the error when adding the exchange account to Outlook 2016

Edit2: After some searching i find out where the problem is and created a new question for it: How to change external URL on MAPI over HTTP on Exchange 2016?

Is Outlook fully patched? The most common reasons for this problem are lack of updates for Outlook.
