When you change AutoDiscover settings for users, it can take up to 2 hours until the cached data on each Exchange Server is invalidated and the new AutoDiscover configuration is sent as a response to new AutoDiscover request.

You have to force a service and a application pool restart to activate your configuration changes immediately:

• Service: MSExchangeServiceHost
• Application Pool: MSExchangeAutodiscoverAppPool

These restarts need to be performed on each Exchange 2013/2016 server in your infrastructure serving AutoDiscover requests.

Use the following two PowerShell cmdlets to simplify this task:
