Did you get a fix for this?
I am having exactly the same issue from a single server, while alternate servers are succeeding. In theory, they are all configured identically, in terms of network configuration, etc. and are all running 2.0.5 of the module.
Make sure you enable TLS1.2 first:
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
Other than that, make sure you have the latest updates, at minimum the Trusted root CA ones.
Thanks for the reply yes I verified and we have enabled TLS1.2 and the server got the latest update installed.
Still same error
Just tested on a 2012R2 box, works fine after enabling TLS1.2. Make sure it's enabled in registry too, under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Client
Whether there exists firewall in your organization, if so, I would suggest you try to disable it temporarily to check whether this phenomenon is caused by it. You need to make sure Office 365 URLs and IP address ranges could access from your client successfully.
I also suggest you have a check whether there exists proxy setting on your client. If there is, try to remove it and connect to Exchange online again.
