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.

Hotfix replacement information

This hotfix does not replace any previously released hotfix.

The English (United States) version of this hotfix installs files that have the attributes that are listed in the following tables. The dates and the times for these files are listed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The dates and the times for these files on your local computer are displayed in your local time together with your current daylight saving time (DST) bias. Additionally, the dates and the times may change when you perform certain operations on the files.

Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 file information and notesImportant Windows 7 hotfixes and Windows Server 2008 R2 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, hotfixes on the Hotfix Request page are listed under both operating systems. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.

  • The files that apply to a specific product, SR_Level (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table.

    Version

    Product

    SR_Level

    Service branch

    6.1.760
    1.
    18xxx

    Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

    GDR

    6.1.760
    1.
    22xxx

    Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

    SP1

    LDR

  • GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, extremely important issues. LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes.

  • The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2" section. MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are extremely important to maintain the state of the updated components. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.

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.
