EWS Requires the Proxy service installed

Important note: EWS only works if you have the Proxy role installed and properly configured. If not, you will not be able to use the EWS feature, as Outlook try to connects for the port 443, more information in the next Bugs:

Please make sure you have Proxy installed before you try to configure your Outlook Clients in OS X
