I recently installed the Outlook CRM plugin (Dynamics CRM 2016 on premise) on my laptop. When attempting to run the Outlook client configuration, I am prompted for the URL of the organization to be added, which is [apparently] accepted as entered. I’m then prompted for a password. The [defaulted] domain\username is displayed above the password prompt in the next window, but the correct password is consistently rejected. However, I am able to connect successfully to the CRM server through the IE browser with the same domain\username and password.
I have tried every which way to diagnose this. The CodePlex diagnostic tool available for CRM 2011-2015 apparentlly doesn't work with the CRM 2016.
Here is the xml error log generated (with what would appear to be the important lines italicized):

The CRM server is a new installation, and (as mentioned above) works with the IE browser accepting both domain\username and password from the server desktop and using a remote IE client over VPN. Given what I'm seeing in the xml error log, I think this may be a configuration problem, with something not entered that should have been during the setup process.
Secondly: When I log onto CRM via the IE browser on my laptop and navigate through the Settings top menu to Settings / System / Administration and click on "System Settings" I get the following error message in a new window:
"Invalid User Authorization
The user authentication passed to the platform is not valid."
This is presented in a window that can't be closed, and IE essentially crashes and must be restarted. This doesn't happen when I navigate to Settings/System/Security -- only with the Settings/System/Administration submenu. I think this may be related to the authentication problem when I am trying to add the organization via the Outlook client after clicking the Outlook client CRM tab.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
