Does the Exchange add in work if you have an on-premise exchange server as opposed to cloud?

Does the Exchange add in work if you have an on-premise exchange server as opposed to cloud?

I managed to it installed on my outlook client, but when i try to associate an email, i get an error.  "The Exchange and Shared mailbox have no support for the Associate Email feature".  Is this just incompatible with on-prem self hosted exchange?    Or is this something I can get my mail admin to fix? if so, what do I ask him?
