How to Manually Configure Outlook for Office 365

Are you having trouble setting up your Outlook account for Office 365? If so, you're in luck! This guide will walk you through the step-by-step process of manually configuring your Outlook account for both Windows 7 and 8.

The first thing you need to do is connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Select 'Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP'.

2. Click on the Security tab and then select Configure Security Settings.

3. Switch the network security option to “Anonymous Authentication”.

4. If you are prompted with an error that the action cannot be completed, click OK.

Next, enter your email address in the field User Name and make sure that the Use Cached Exchange Mode option is selected. In the Server box, type the host address that you noted in Step 1.

If you are using Windows 7, you will need to create a new Outlook profile. To do this:

1. Click on the View by drop-down menu (set to Category by default).

2. Click Manually configure server settings or additional server types.

3. Click Show Profiles and type a name for the profile.

Once you have completed these steps, you should be able to access your Office 365 email account using Outlook.

Alternatively, if you are experiencing issues with auto-discover enabled, you can use PowerShell to manually configure your Outlook profile. To do this:

1. Open PowerShell and enter the following commands:

```

Get-Mailbox -Identity user_name | select ExchangeGUID

$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri -Credential $LiveCred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection

$LiveCred = Get-Credential (use your ADMIN credentials)

```

You should see a value that looks something like This is your host name – you’ll need this later, so copy and paste it into Notepad or write it down.

By following these steps, you should be able to manually configure your Outlook account for Office 365. If you encounter any issues during the process, don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team for assistance.
