More information from Microsoft:

When you create an Outlook profile by using the Auto Account Setup process, a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) query is first performed to look up the user who is currently logged on. Then, this user’s e-mail address and Exchange server information is returned from Active Directory Domain Services. This LDAP query is successful in Outlook 2010, and the query is not the cause of the error message that is mentioned in the “Symptoms” section.

When you click Next in the Auto Account Setup process to connect with your server and finish creating the profile, Outlook 2010 has some new additional code (This code is not found in Outlook 2007) to make sure that you do not add the same Exchange account two times. This new code assumes that Autodiscover succeeds. And, it pessimistically assumes that if Autodiscover fails, you might be trying to add a duplicate Exchange account. Because Autodiscover is expected to fail in almost all configurations that involve an Exchange 2003 mailbox, this new code generates the 0×80070057 error.

In this scenario, you can force a successful Autodiscover connection by using a local Autodiscover.xml file and some registry data. This registry data forces Outlook to use a local Autodiscover.xml file for Autodiscover queries.

The following is an example Autodiscover.xml file:

<Autodiscover xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/autodiscover/responseschema/2006">

  <Response xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/autodiscover/outlook/responseschema/2006a">

    <Account>

      <AccountType>email</AccountType>

      <Action>settings</Action>

      <Protocol>

        <Type>EXCH</Type>

        <Server>E2K3.wingtiptoys.com</Server>

      </Protocol>

    </Account>

  </Response>

</Autodiscover>

Use of Autodiscover.xml file in the Registry

In the “Auto Account Setup” process, when you click the Next button in order to connect the server as well as to create a profile, Outlook uses some extra codes. These ensure that you don’t get successfully connected with the same Exchange Account twice using its internal codes.

The codes are found in the newer version of Outlook (2010 onwards). This new code believes that Autodiscover succeeds. And if it fails to proceed, it assumes that you are trying to add a duplicate Exchange Account.

Now on the left sidebar of the Registry, go through this path.

“HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice14.0OutlookAutoDiscover”

Switch to the right pane of AutoDiscover and create a new DWORD. Name the DWORD as PreferLocalXML.

Finally, simply create Outlook Profile by using the “Auto Account Setup” process.
