Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
You have a third-party proxy server that enables communication only over port 80.
You configure a computer that is running one of the following operating systems to use this proxy server for all protocols:
- Windows 8.1
- Windows Server 2012 R2
- Windows 7
- Windows Server 2008 R2
You configure the proxy bypass list to contain settings for internal servers.
You enable the Bypass proxy server for local addresses option.
You configure Microsoft Outlook 2010 or Microsoft Outlook 2013 to connect to the newest Microsoft Office 365 mailbox (Wave15).
You start Outlook, and it tries to connect to Outlook.Office365.com.
In this scenario, it takes two to three minutes to obtain the initial connection.
Cause
This problem occurs because RPC waits for the direct connection to time out before it selects the proxy server. This causes the delay.

Status
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
More Information
This hotfix adds the following non-user-configurable registry key:
Registry location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Rpc
DWORD name: ConnectionOptionsFlag
DWORD value: 00000001
Note Changing this registry key will not change the RPC behavior. This key is added only to indicate the presence of a new HTTP connection option.
The delay may still occur for connections to shared folders. This is because a shared folder is not added as an Exchange mailbox account. Therefore, Outlook is unable to determine if it is located on an Exchange Online mailbox.
