The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action. Error while connecting to exchange through Outlook 2010

Hi,
I have set up Exchange Server 2013 on Windows Server 2008 R2. Everything is working fine except I am unable to configure Exchange account in Outlook 2010 or any other version. It says 
"The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action." 
Error screenshot is attached. Even, I am able to configure exchange active sync on my adroid and ipad which is working perfect. Please let me know if any body have any idea about it. Searched many blog and forum but still now solution till now.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
Can you ping your Exchange server? It would hlep us isolate the fault from network releated issue.
Is there a trusted certificate installed on Exchange 2013 server?
If you run the test of RPC over HTTP in
https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com/, is there any error returned?

  • The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. outlook must be online or connected to completed this action

    Hello,
    I used to use Outlook 2010 connecting with my account. 
    However, after I upgrade to outlook 2013, whenever I tried to connect to my account,
    it keeps saying "The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable.
    outlook must be online or connected to
    completed this action."
    I've read the other threads, I deleted my accounts through using control panel and so on, but nothing works for me. 
    Plz help me :(
    Other office stuff such as excel,
    powerpoint and word works very well.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    If you could connect with your Exchange account with Outlook 2010 successfully and OWA works well. Then the issue might be more related to your Outlook 2013.
    I would like to know your Exchange server version. Please understand Outlook 2013 is not compatible with Exchange server 2003 or an earlier version of Exchange. For more resource:

  • The action cannot be completed. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. outlook must be online or connected to complete this action

    I have outlook 2013 and am trying to add an exchange 2010 multi-tenant account.
    I have created a new profile.
    I select Manual setup or additional server types
    Then select Microsoft Exchange Server or compatible service
    I enter the server settings. But the following error is returned when i click check name
    "The action cannot be completed. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. outlook must be online or connected to complete this action"
    I have tried selecting more settings, selecting security, and then selecting the option:- Always propt for logon credentials.
    But the same error is still returned
    I tried deselecting the option Encrypt data between Microsoft outlook and Microsoft Exchange
    But still continue to get the same error.
    Reading from other forums I have tried restarting the Microsoft Exchange Address book service under services on the exchange server.
    But this did not help either
    i am able to access the email accout via outlook web access. I am also able to add the email account to my iphone with the server details and it adds fine onto my iphone but cannot add it to outlook 2013.
    any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    This issue may occur when the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders registry key does not contain all of the required data. Specifically, these problems occur if the
    AppData string value is missing from this registry key.
    NOTE: The \User Shell Folders key also contains a string value called
    Local AppDatawhich is different from the value called AppData. The value that causes this problem (if it is missing) is the
    AppData value.
    To resolve this issue, import the User Shell Folders registry key from a working Windows User Profile.
    For more information, please refer:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2264398
    Hope this helps.

    I have looked in the registry and Appdata is not missing it has the following value "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming" also Local AppData is there with the following value "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local" i do not have a working machine to import the user shell
    folders registry key so any other advice would be useful.
    thanks

    In order to test what you suggested i created a windows 7 virtual machine installed outlook 2003 however i also get the error on the virtual machine that i have created.
    any further suggestions would be a great help.

  • The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete - Cant add Outlook accounts

    Hi have recently started getting the following error message when setting up new accounts with Outlook 2007:
    The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action.
    Outlook then prompts me to enter the username and password, i do so and get message again. This happens on Windows XP Professional and Vista, i cannot setup any accounts for new machines.
    Points to note are that OWA works fine, and previous users who are already setup work fine also. It seems to be limited to setting up new Outlook 2007 accounts.
    It can find the username fine. It comes up with green ticks underr the Online Search for your server settings:
    Establish Network connection
    Search for [email protected] server settings
    Long on to server ---------- then it fails with a big red cross at this point
    Recently i did add a second mail server to the network but it was not configured to talk to the other main mail server which was handling all the functions of mail box, CAS, hub transport. I had installed all the same roles on the second server with a view to move it across and retire the old server, the second machine is a different machine name from the main mail server. In summay my servers are:
    svr001              Server 2003 R2 Enterprise x64 domain controller
    mail                 Server 2003 R2 Enterprise x64 non-domain controller with exchange 2007 SP1
    mail001            Windows 2008 Enterprise x64 non-domain controller with exchange 2007 SP1
    The main box "mail" has been fine until i recently introduced this new server "mail001" into the network.
    I am really stuck now and would really appreciate any pointers or steps to debug the above.
    Many thanks,
    Chris

    The FIX IT here
    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=319206 works, but only for a user who's already logged in (if you just run the fix it program and do nothing else). To make it work for all users you'll need to manually edit the registry as it says in the article.
    To force Outlook to use a pre-defined global catalog server, use the following steps to set the following special registry parameter to point to the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). Doing this over-rides any setting in the MAPI profile.
    Click Start, and then click Run.
    In the Open box, type regedit.exe, and then click
    OK.
    Locate and then click the following key in the registry:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Exchange Provider
    Note You may have to create the registry path.
    On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
    Value name: DS Server
    Data type: REG_SZ (string)
    Value data: FQDN of the global catalog server
    This allowed me to roll out a bunch of laptops and not have to worry about running the Fix It for each user.
     update: Sysprep seemed to remove fix. Each time a new user logged into a newly imaged laptop (on domain) same error about Outlook 2007 cannot connect to Exchange. Have tried just about everything, but all I seem to be able to do is run this stupid
    Fix it each time. Luckily I don't have 1000 machines to setup because then I'd be screwed.

  • Office 2013 - The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete.

    Hi Team,
    Just purchased and downloaded Office Home Premium and having trouble with Outlook. For what ever reason, I am unable to create account/add my email address ([email protected]) into the program. Through the set-up process it continuously
    tells me that it is unable to connect to Microsoft Exchange, and that it must be online or connected to complete. In the end, it comes up with this pop-up listing a file. Something like that. Any pointers on how to resolve this or are a lot of people having
    this problem..
    Also, I installed this on my laptop (OSX 10.8.2)
    and it worked fine, but not on my desktop (Win8 Pro 64-bit) 
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Does OWA work?
    Does this issue occur on other users?
    In Exchange 2013, most of the internal and external client becomes to use Outlook Anywhere(RPC over http).
    Please make sure the autodiscover.domain.com is included in the certificate.
    Thanks,

    Hi I am having the same issue. Brand new computer, using Office 365 and trying to set up Outlook 2013 on Win 7 machine. OWA works fine. But cannot set up Exchange on my desktop.
    I don't know what you mean by "In Exchange 2013, most of the internal and external client becomes to use Outlook Anywhere(RPC over

    Please make sure the autodiscover.domain.com is included in

    Can you please walk me through this? Thank you.

    whenever i connect my iphone to pc while syncing mail in itunes a pop up" the connection is not available.outlook must be online or connected  to complete this action" please suggest me to solve this or bisable.

    Cached exchange mode was already marked so that was not the issue.
    I have done all the usual of creating a new profile, reinstalling Outlook etc but nothing seemed to work. I also tried going back to Outlook 2007 and reinstalling Windows but same problem.
    However, I am not sure if it is connected but I was useing the option in MS Live Sync to synchronise Office settings which I turned off recently and now no longer have the issue. Unfortunately I cannot remember when in the process I did this so cannot be
    sure it was responsible - anyone else found this?

  • Error while connecting to the database from a JSP Page

    Hi,
    I am using a simple JSP page which is based on the sample JSP pages from OTN.
    When I try to connect to my database using the following code:
    InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
    OracleDataSource ds = (OracleDataSource)ic.lookup("jdbc/OTN9iDS");
    m_connection = ds.getConnection();
    I get the following error:
    Naming exception Error while connecting to the database : javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: jdbc/OTN9iDS not found in JDBCTest-JDBCTestProject-webapp
    Does anybody know wht this is happening?
    Any help would be appreciated
    FRank

    Hi Frank,
    Are you using standalone OC4J or 9iAS ? If you are using standalone OC4J then you need to add a proper data source entry in %OC4J_HOME%j2ee\home\config\data-sources.xml file.
    If you are using 9iAS the you can log in to the Enterprise Manager console and add the data source entry by using wizard provided by 9iAS.
    Ensure the case of the JNDI lookup string, since, it is case sensitive.
    Hope this helps.

    I have a iPhone 5C and a PC with Windows Vista.I did pair my phone thru Bluetooth but when I try to connect I get this message:"error establishing connection" What is the reason of this?

    Go into Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and make sure that your phone number is checked and iMessage reads as activated. Remove the checkmark from the email address and make sure that only the phone number if checked. It should appear grayed out, but should still have a checkmark. If the phone number does not have a checkmark, then turn off iMessage, wait a few moments and then turn iMessage back on and make sure that it activates.

    Hi,
    Sometimes the server is not available and you can get an error like this one. Usually it works if you try to sync later. If this doesn't work, take a look to [https://philikon.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/how-to-file-a-good-sync-bug/ this post] to learn how to report a bug.

  • Error while connecting to workflow builder after installation...first time!

    Hi,
    I have installed Oracle Workflow Builder 2.6.3 recently on my system and after installation, when I am trying to connect the workflow builder (using database username/password of that particular instance), it is throwing me the following error:
    220: Unable to set NLS_LANGUAGE.
    210: Oracle Error: ORA-01403: no data found
    . SQL text: SELECT NLS_LANGUAGE FROM WF_LANGUAGES WHERE :l IN (NLS_LANGUAGE, CODE)
    In the previous threads when I searched for the same issue, I found that if
    select value from v$nls_parameters
    where parameter='NLS_CHARACTERSET';
    returns the value other then WE8ISO8859P1 then that is what I should change my NLS_LANG entry for the builder - i.e. AMERICAN_AMERICA.<character set>.
    But I am not getting where should I change NLS_LANG, it is located where...some file? I am new to Workflow.
    Please help me. I tried a lot. Any type of help will be highly appreciated.

  • Installing Java Dialog Instance - Error while connecting to DB

    We would like to add a dialog instance to our production Portal server.  We installed Portal as stand-alone on the central instance.  We have another server we would like to setup to serve as a Portal dialog instance.
    So far I have installed Windows 2003 Server Standard.  Installed MSSQL server client tools (database is mssql server).  Installed jdk 1.4.62.  Set java home and path environmental variables.  I'm now installing the Java dialog instance (I can't find any documentation on this).  From Netweaver installation CD> SAP NetWeaver '04 Support Release 1> Java System> MS SQL Server> Dialog Instance Installation>
    SAP System ID: (sid) ES2
    Central Host: SAPEPS02
    Path to JAVA DVD supplied> JDK Directory confirmed> Domain paramaters confirmed> domain<sid> account passwords supplied> domain<service><sid> account password supplied> Instance number confirmed>
    Installation started> It gets to step 8 and fails stating "Error while connecting to DB".  I looked through all the log files and couldn't come up with anything (i'm very thorough).
    I tried adding the users to the database as dbowners (no luck).  I installed SQL server 2000 with SP4.  No where during this installation did I get prompted for database parameters?
    Is there something basic i'm missing?  Does this scenario not work?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Pointing me in the right direction of the correct documentation would also be appreciated.  Thank you in advance.
