UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE SHAREPOINT SERVER” ERROR

Hi,

I have seen this error when the Admin account has not logged into the specific environment where you are configuring Sharepoint. Once the Admin account has logged in, the externalId field is populated and you are able to utilize the sharepoint integration.
