0x800C8203 Autodiscover

I had a client running Exchange 2007 that was receiving the following error in Test E-Mail AutoConfiguration in Outlook when trying to Autodiscover:

FAILED (0x80072F0C)



To resolve this issue you need to set the Client Certificates setting to "Ignore" under the Autodiscover virtual directory in IIS manager.



After making this change autodiscover now works correctly.

  4. Think I must have switched that one when I was troubleshooting - and forgotten I'd done it - figures. Worked for me, excellent.

  5. This unfortunately creates a password prompt for internal users on opening Outlook, even though they are already loaded into an authenticated session with AD credentials.
    Not sure if there is a way around that?

  6. Hi Annonymous,

    This is not the reason why your outlook users are being prompted. There are many reasons for password prompts.

    Are you users connecting via RPC over HTTPS or direct MAPI?

  7. Clint, I found that in my case the intermediate certificate was missing from my load balancer and this was causing the 0x800C8203 error. Thanks for this post and suggesting to check out authentication!

  10. this error is happening only on one user's account. The IIS settings are all correct.
    Any ideas?

  11. Yes it is most likely the permissions on the users account in Active Directory. Turn on Active Directory users and computers advanced features, go to the Account properties, click Security, click Advanced then inherited permissions from the parent to overwrite the account permissions.

    Kind Regards,
    Clint
