Hello. I have been working on this issue for the last three days and am at my wits end.
On Sunday I installed Cumulative Update 1 on our Exchange 2013 Server. It's the only Exchange server in the environment and is integrated with Server 2012 Essentials. After rebooting from the update, autodiscover was no longer functional. No outlook clients could log in to the server, internal or external. Activesync is still working, so mobile clients are functioning normally, and OWA and ECP are functional both internal and external.
I have been pouring through numerous technet articles, forums, and anything else that my have a solution to my problem. I managed to solve several issues, but every time I fix an issue a new one will crop up and send me two steps back. Here is where I stand now:
Remote Connectivity Analyzer outputs this at the moment after the latest iisreset:
| Testing RPC/HTTP connectivity. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The RPC/HTTP test failed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
There was an issue with the EXCH Provider previously, but after trying a solution and rebooting, I now have an issue with EXPR. Originally, I couldn't even get autodiscover to connect. I fixed that, but keep on hitting roadblocks every step I take.
Here are some powershell outputs for reference. Note that before I copied these, I have recreated the autodiscover virtual directory and performed an iisreset. I also had changed the outlookprovider certprincipalname and server, but have since changed them back to $null

Everything is configured and turned on. I'm just stumped about the issue with the outlook provider. I'm fairly certain that it has surfaced due to changes I made from fixes I found for other issues. If I can't get this fixed by this evening, I'm probably just going to reinstall Exchange entirely and start from scratch. Anybody have a bright idea? Thanks in advance.
