Outlook 2010 makes unexpected HTTPS connection for unrelated profile

I originally posted this in the Outlook forum, but was pointed here instead.
I have a number of different Outlook profiles, for unrelated Exchange accounts.
I recently noticed that a client's firewall log was showing unexpected failed logon attempts to port 443, from my IP, using my PC name and username. I eventually found that these connections corresponded to my starting Outlook 2010 on my PC, loading my usual
Outlook profile (unrelated to the client, although I do have another Outlook profile for this client's Exchange server.)
Recreating my usual profile didn't fix it. Eventually I created a test profile that contains just an empty PST file and the Fax service, and even opening this profile causes a failed HTTPS (presumably RPC over HTTPS) connection to the client.
Why would Outlook be making HTTPS connections (presumably RPC over HTTPS) to a server that isn't referenced in a profile? How can I remove such references?
Thanks.

This was marked as the answer, but it is not.
I use RPC-over-HTTP for all the accounts, so I can't disable it.
The question is why is Outlook attempting to connect to the server referenced in profile X when I'm connecting (successfully) to a entirely different server referenced in different profile Y?
Thanks.

How can I use the Outlook 2010 social connector to connect to a Sharepoint 2013 mysite?

Hello Forumfriends!
We have recently (like, last Weekend) migrated our Sharepoint 2010 Farm to SharePoint 2013 and we have started using mysites.
Now, there is a nice featur in Outlook 2010, the social connector. This connector connects nicely to SharePoint 2010 mysite (it does, I have tested myself).
Unfortunately, I seem to be unable to connect to my new SharePoint 2013 mysite with my Outlook 2010 Client.
Can anyone help me with this?
In SharePoint 2010 I configured the social connector using the URL
http://mysitehost/my. When I do the same with my SharePoint 2013 mysite it says "Could not connect to Server"
We are not using Office 365 and no, we will not rollout Outlook 2013.
Regards,
Jack

Hi Jack,
According to your description, my understanding is that you could use Outlook 2010 social connector to connect a SharePoint 2013 MySite.
The OSC makes Outlook 2010 a social networking tool by connecting to the new social experiences in SharePoint 2010. That connection allows the OSC to download activity feeds for colleagues and display them inside the new People Pane.
When using Outlook 2013 Social Connector connecting to SharePoint 2013, Outlook calls /_layouts/15/ActivityFeed.aspx with parameter (destination user email) to sync updates. However, it is likely that Outlook 2010 cannot recognize SharePoint 2013 newsfeed.
So, for solving your issue, I suggest you use Outlook 2013 Social Connector to connect a SharePoint 2013 MySite.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

HTTP Connection for Solution manager

Dear Experts,
SAP support team asked to create a http connection for solution manager for service check.We already created a R/3 connection for solution manager.why they are asking for HTTP connection? Really they required HTTP connection ?,Is they are any problem with this type of connections.What are the transaction codes which are not run in SAP GUI. Please clarify my doubts.
Thanks and regards,
Patan Thavaheer.

Hi Patan,
Solution Manager transaction codes open in http browser. You can check the behaviour yourself by making a login to solution manager and execute transaction code solman_setup.
For SAP support to open http browser within remote support, they need to have http connection opened along with HTTP url maintained.
Refer to the SAP help link above for the procedure.
Hope this helps.

Outlook 2010 Client - "unable to connect to retrieve additional data" for some Distribution lists

We have a mix of Outlook 2003, 2007 and 2010 clients in our organization.
Users with an outlook 2010 client are having issues with a number (not all) of our distribution lists.
Issues: When selecting a distribution list in the new message 'to' fiedl, a 'message tip' appears with the name of the DL and 'contains xx recipients'.
However, when attempting to expand the DL (selecting the + sign) the following prompt appears "Cannot perfrom the requested operation. The command selected is not valid for this recipient. The operation failed"
When selecting the DL through the outlook address book the memberlist is empty and has a mail tip "unable to connect to retrieve additional data".
The DL's were all created in a 2003 environment.
We are currently setting up a 2010 environment, and all DL's were created prior to any schema updates etc.
Of note, users experience the issue, but access the list through OWA don't have the issue.

Please also perform the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
1. Temporarily turn off firewall and antivirus program on the problematic machine for a test.
2. Remove the Outlook profile completely and create a new profile.
3. Login on the same mailbox by Outlook 2010 on another machine to check the result.
If the issue persists, please open Event Viewer and check whether any error message exists. If so, please post it here for research.
Thanks.

Outlook 2010 corrupting incoming pdf attachments for one user

I have one user here that is having incoming pdf attachments get corrupted in Outlook 2010. When she tries to open the file, it gives
the error "Adobe Reader could not open filename.pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." I can open the pdf files in her
webmail, and I also installed another mail client which can open the same email attachment fine. It is obviously something about Outlook 2010 that is corrupting the pdf. I have a comparison of email headers from a good email and a corrupt email, as well
as a comparison of the content of a good pdf file vs a corrupt one. The corrupt pdf is all zero's. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking!

Hi,
Please try to save the PDF file to local and then double-click to open it if you haven't tried this.
Also make sure the user has installed the latest version of Adobe Reader.
In addition, did the user get the PDF attached email from an online mail interface? If so, please try to send the user an PDF attachment email using Outlook to check the result. Some email providors (especially web email) encode the PDF's for a faster
transfer but when they are received at the other end, they aren't recognized as a PDF so they get corrupted. See:

Unable to access BCM 2010 DB with Outlook 2010 after running compatibility pack for Outlook 2013

After reading about the Description of Business Contact Manager compatibility pack for Outlook at this link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2793723 it clearly states "Business Contact Manager for Microsoft Outlook is a compatibility pack that enables
Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2007 and Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2010 to run in Microsoft Outlook 2010 and Microsoft Outlook 2013. Business Contact Manager for Outlook (BCM) also supports using Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013 in a side-by-side
installation." This link also states "General product fixes, including stability and performance improvements."
So, I was hoping for some stability and performance improvements but desired to continue running from Outlook 2010. After running this downloaded compatibility pack it had little messages other than completed. If I try to run it again it says the database
is already updated. however, now I cannot open the BCM DB in Outlook 2010. when I try to connect to it from Outlook 2010 BCM it only opens a small window with no message, only a yellow exclamation sign. It also won't allow me to restore the
back up.
Can I undo what the compatibility pack program did to my BCM 2010 DB?
Now it won't allow me to restore a DB from two days ago. It gives this error "Access is denied due to a password failure. RESTORE FILELIST is terminating prematurely". I know the password is correct.
Please help, anyone? Now I'm starting to freak out a bit. I am going to reinstall BCM and pray.
I was able to restore the two day old DB by not entering a password. Odd since I know I backed up using a password.

Outlook 2010 Certificate Alert when connecting to Exchange 2010 Server

Hi,
I am receiving the below security alert when launching a domain joined Outlook 2010 client;
The security certificate was issued by a company you have not chosen to trust
This is a self-signed certificate on the CAS server role which is separate to the Hub and Mailbox. Unless something is completely screwed, Outlook 2007 against Exchange 2007 had no issues with domain joined machines and self-signed certificates.
The following KB article explains the same issue http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/2006728 but this is a native Exchange 2010 environment with no previous versions of CAS roles.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers

Hi,
Yes, when internal user try to use outlook to connect exchange Server, outlook will try to find the e-mail address and exchange server name from AD. After that it will look for SCP and then find the correct the autodiscover server to connect, retrieve settings.
So during the process of connecting to exchange server, it will have to use autodiscover to connect and retrieve user settings. So certificate regard to autodiscover will cause the issue.
I’d like to share the process of how internal outlook user connect to exchange server.
1.    Automatically retrieve e-mail address from Active Directory if domain joined machine.
2.    Retrieve Exchange Server name if found and store for later.
3.    Look for SCP objects or SCP pointer objects that correspond to user’s e-mail address, and find the correct Autodiscover server to connect to; then connect and retrieve settings.
4.    If previous step fails, attempt DNS discovery of Autodiscover XML (allowing for 10 redirects).
a.    HTTPS POST: https://DOMAIN/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
b.    HTTPS POST: https://autodiscover.DOMAIN/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
c.    HTTP GET: http://autodiscover.DOMAIN/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml (only to follow redirects, not to get settings)
d.    DNS SRV lookup: _autodiscover._tcp.DOMAIN (only to follow the redirect the SRV record points to)
5.    If previous step fails, attempt local XML discovery and use XML found on the local machine if applicable.
6.    If previous step fails but an Exchange Server name is found in step 2, configure Exchange account based on Exchange Server name.
7.    If previous step is not applicable, attempt Common Settings Discover, as described in the next section.
More related information to share with you:

How do I update to my changed Icloud ID and Passowrd in Windows Outlook 2010. It keeps asking for my old ID

I had to change my Icloud ID and Passworrd recently through my Iphone.. I also have Icloud linked to Windows Outlook 2010 on my computer.

VFRIO

Hello vfrio,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you edited your existing Apple ID to a new email address and changed the password as well. To change this on your computer, you will need to sign out of the old account and into the new Apple ID in iCloud for Windows. Please use the attached article as a further reference.
What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password - Apple Support
Windows PC
Open iCloud for Windows and click Sign Out.
If you're signed out, sign in with your updated Apple ID or password. The data in iCloud will automatically appear on your device after you sign in.
If you're signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Click Sign Out. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked if you want to make copies or delete iCloud data (Contacts, Calendar, Reminders, Bookmarks, Photo Stream) from your PC. Click Delete. Your data will remain in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Sign in with your updated Apple ID or password.
Have a great day,
Joe

Http Connection for UIViewController

Hi guys.
I am developing an application with Http connection.
This application has 5 UIViewControllers.
Each UIViewController can create a Http Connection.
In this case, Do I need to code NSURLConnection for each UIViewController ?
Or, Do need to code one NSURLConnection for 5 UIViewControllers?
If so, How to make a transition between one NSURLConnection and 5 UIViewControllers ?
Which one is better ?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reply.
hat is hard to tell without knowing what each of these connections are supposed to do. I would >definitely create a separate class that handles the HTTP request, check connectivity etc. and use >that from each controller.
If so, Do I need to define 5 UIViewControllers as static variable in separate class that handles the HTTP request ?
I am trying yours idea. To do that, defines static variable for each UIViewController in AppDelegate.m.
Actually i wanna do it as local variable. But I have one separate class that handles. So, I defined these 5 UIViewControllers as static.
If need to define as local variable, what do I need to ?
Any suggestion ?
Thanks in advance.

Outlook 2010 RPC over HTTP to Exchange 2003 users remain disconnected after login

Greetings Guys,
I am unable to find a solution, Windows 2003 DC, Exchange 2003, all user were working great, RPC over HTTP, until Tuesday at about the same time perhaps before the MS update KB3002657
all remote users using outlook 2010 did not have authentication popups as was noted from this KB. But instead all login successfully, ( looking at the security logs in the exchange) , but all are remaining disconnected, immediately after login.
The users had already been configured with the registry DefConnectOpts RPC key, so I doubt their Outlook profiles are the problem.
I suspect the DC's ( we have 2 ) or the exchange have picked up an issue. I am out of ideas.
Any help would be awesome
Barry

Hi,
According to your description, I understand that Outlook(Outlook Anywhere) client display disconnected after install MS update KB3002657.
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
KB3002657 is a security update to prevent attacker logging on to a domain-joined system and being able to monitor network traffic. More details about this update, please refer to:
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/ms15-027
For your question, please try to reconfigure a Outlook profile for testing.
If it works, you can try to below steps to pop sign in page in Outlook client:
1. Open Outlook---> File and click “Account setting”, then select account name and click “Change”.
2. Click “More settings”, switch “Security” and check “Always Prompt for logon credentials”。
3. Restart Outlook to login your account.
Once this done, you can uncheck this setting for convenience.
Besides, I find an similar thread about your question, for your reference:

Outlook 2010, stuck at updating inbox for users

Hi. I am a support technician at a company.
We had a lot of Windows XP, Outlook 2007, systems, e-mail worked excellent.
We then migrated to Outlook 2010, the XP systems continue working without problems.
However I've been having some random Windows 7 systems, Outlook 2010, having this issue of the inbox not updating, it just stays stuck at "Updating Inbox" and can stay like that for the whole day.
This is causing issues because some of those users are VP and of course want their email right away.
I've tried recreating ost, profile, and issue reappears. However I'm not sure if users don't report it, or if it's just random, because I don't hear about it everyday, just randomly maybe once a week or two times a week.
None of what I've tried has work, new ost, new profile, repair account, even a new installation of Office. Issue keeps reappearing. Safe mode has same problem. OWA and phones update right away.
The closest I've come to sort of fixing it is running a repair of Office, after the repair, the emails go through right away, but then issue reappears days later.
I'm not really sure what could be causing this. I've searched online and seem to find a lot of similar problems with no conclusive solution.
Some of the things in common, these users receive lots of emails in the mornings, have lots of folders underneath inbox.
If only it would download them slowly, but it just appears stuck when this happens.

Hi,
According to your description, if owa works fine, it most likely a outlook client issue.
I recommend that you post this in office forum, there will more experts to help you:

Setting up http connection for ADS in sm59

I have a problem setting up the http connection.
I created ADSUser and ADScallers role, but when i click on test connection in sm59, first i get a popup window: response from web server contains cookies. Accept?
I didn't get this window before, this looks strange.
I have to click twice on yes, to proceed, which is also weird.
Then i get an enter logon data window:
enter your user name and ID
Resource: WS Navigator
Username:
Password:
I tried the ADSUser username/pwd here, but it did not work
Which username/pwd should i use and how can i set those?
This already worked once before, and this is the simplest thing, I don't know why it doesn't work anymore.
If this would work, then i coud try FP_PDF_TEST_00 report, and then go on with configuring ADS.
Can anyone help please?

There are many ways.
The easiest would be over the useradmin:
