I recently ran into an issue during an Exchange 2010 to 2013 migration where external users could not connect with Outlook externally. Both Exchange servers did not write any errors or warnings to the application logs and the latest service packs and cumulative updates were all applied.
When I ran an Outlook Connectivity test on Test Exchange Connectivity I would get the following error:

This eventually resulted in a ticket with Microsoft. Support was able to resolve the issue by doing the following:
- Ran this PowerShell command on the 2010 server to update the internal Autodiscover URI to point to the 2013 server:

|
Set-ClientAccessServer -Identity -AutodiscoverServiceInternalUri https://exchange.server.fqdn/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml
|
- Changed the “Default AppPool” application pool (IIS) on the 2010 server to use the LocalSystem identity and recycled the app pool.
Hopefully this helps anyone else stuck on a migration.
