Still having GP email issues since Exchange update

Posted on by 2

Since the October Exchange update that turned off basic authentication was rolled out, I have 2 or 3 customers that are having email issues, even though they were already on GP 18.4, and supposedly shouldn't have been affected.  A report or document is generated to the screen, and when they click the Email button, they get the message "An unknown error has occurred". At one particular customer's office, the users that are onsite with the server and using the thick client can send emails if we change the email server type to be MAPI.  But the users that connect remotely to the terminal server to run GP still get the unknown error message.  Unfortunately, I am not an Exchange guy and don't know anything about it.  I wouldn't know where to start.  However, I can find no errors in the Event Viewer on the SQL server.  Would the  errors be in the event viewer on the Exchange server?

Is anyone else having issues with clients on 18.4 or above and still having email issues after the October Exchange update?  The only work around I've found was to have the network administrator go into Exchange and turn back on basic authentication, but I would expect that the next round of updates may overwrite that setting again.  Has anyone found any other work around?

    We had a client with same type of problems until we found this Question - we then went to the Microsoft Site related Multifactor Auth and found the section on the Application ID set up in Azure.

    I had a long discussion with the TECH support who said they were not using MFA and therefore should not be an issue.  I said what is the cost to try - so in about 2 minutes he created a Application ID for Dynamics GP and we copied it to GP setting window and it worked first time.

    So, even if you are not using MFA, apparently Dynamics GP 18.4 is - so setup the App ID and hopefully that will resolve your issue.

    Larry, there was a post about this in the forum earlier:

    Unfortunately, it didn't look like there was any resolution. There was a post on the Ideas forum to upvote this as a fix.
