Yes I have.  I have found an item in external DNS to change and am about to 
test its benefit.

O365) not resolving properly

Hi Cal
You have done the testyourexchangeconnectivity.com test?

        I have an SBS 2011 (Exchange 2010) server fully patched and working 
fine internally and for lower version Outlook remote connections.
        
        If a PC is set up internally (OL2013/2016) things go OK for 
autoconfiguration.
        
        Externally - ie - not on the local network for OL2013/2016 - 
autoconfigure does not work properly.  Manual configuration of OL2013 needs to 
be done...
        
        But of course manual configuration of OL2016 doesn't exist.
        
        Domain DNS (GoDaddy) seems to have what I believe are proper records.  
Just spent 1/2 hour with their support
        
        - www.voxtm.ca and voxtm.ca go to the required offsite web host
        
        - autodiscover, MX, etc go to the onsite SBS2011 office.voxtm.ca
        
        I have done testexchange tests and found a strange certificate in play 
(ie - not the valid third party cert that is on the SBS2011 box).  In hindsight 
I recall seeing a similar notice when setting up internal OL systems - but was 
able to get past any cert issue easily.
        
        I think is happening for external setup of OL2013/16...
        
        - autodiscover (and the exchange test itself) try's voxtm.ca (resolves 
to the offsite web host) first
        - that gets the strange certificate error
        - test completes with warnings
        
        I expect that OL2016 and probably O365 get the same and fail
        
        Recommendations?  Fixes?
        
        I was thning maybe I could ask the web host to temporarily redirect 
voxtm.ca to office.voxtm.ca as a test.
        
        GoDaddy says I should not change the DNS records so far as www and 
voxtm.ca.
        
        Your consideration is appreciated!
        
        NOTE: curiously I cannot view certificates for these sites in IE or 
EDGE.  Some secure sites show the certs.  But not the ones I am trying to work 
with.  That becomes a problem of course when you are trying to confirm the 
cert/site is proper.
