Believe this too has been silently fixed as I no longer am having this problem. But know have a new problem, attempting to configure Outlook to use the account, either as "exchange" mail connection or as a Outlook mail only connection I am getting following errors.
This action cannot be completed. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action.
I also get messages stating unable to connect to server to get account information or unable to verify account information.
Deleted the test account, recreated, same result. Restarting the service or server get the same results. What is wrong here??? Why is this so freaking hard??
