Accessing another users mailbox in Exchange 2013

I have full access to a users mailbox. I am trying to create a outlook profile on my machine, with Exchange 2013, it needs the server Guid with the upnsuffix. I found the powershell script to give me this, but when I put in in the server name properties of Outlook for the new profile, I'm getting "server cannot be found. The server is up and running. what else can I do to get another users profile to work in Outlook. this is so I can setup delegates on the users calendar. 

Thanks

I don't think that you need the server guid with the upnsuffix. If you have a single server in the organization you can enter the name of that server (mailserver1.myorg.com), if you have a cas array you can entering the FQDN assigned to it (mail.myorg.com).  I believe you can also use "Add-MailboxFolderPermission" to add delegates. Something like this:

add-MailboxFolderPermission -user "who gets the access" -AccessRights "what rights" -Identity "whose mailbox to give access to:\Calendar"

Add-MailboxFolderPermission -user "User1" -AccessRights "Editor" -Identity "User2:\Calendar"

we have a two server DAG, it has a VIP, I've tried either server name and the VIP IP, none are working.

I think I forgot to mention, I'm doing this for trying to set delegate permissions on a users calendar.

2 server dag with or without stand alone CAS array? Where does your VIP point to? Are you able to resolve the name assigned to the VIP from the workstation on which you are attempting to configure Outlook? If your VIP is pointing to the CAS array and you are able to successfully ping/resolve it from the workstation then I'd say you have an autodiscover issue and you should be able to replicate this issue from any workstation. If no other client is having this issue I'd look at that workstation specifically and try it on another machine. As I posted above, you can use the Add-MailboxFolderPermission to grant delegate access to user's calendar without having to open their mailbox.
