Outlook Settings Configuration Guide
This article will explain how I setup a basic policy to setup Outlook automatically on Windows devices.
Why am I doing this?
This policy will setup Outlook so the user doesn’t have to interact too much with Outlook the first time it runs.
This policy will:
- Sets the user on first run.
- The user only has to click next a few time.
- There will be no need to enter server and other settings.
How am I doing this?
🧪 Test Groups: Creating a test group is the first step when creating a new Intune policy. This allows you to safely test the policy on a small group of users before deploying to your entire organization, minimizing potential disruption and ensuring the policy works as expected.
In the Intune Admin panel, go to Windows -> Configuration -> Create -> New Policy -> Windows 10+ && Templates -> Email
Give the policy a name like: Win - Setup Email
From here you can setup the values below.
You can use whatever you like for the Account name.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Email server | outlook.office365.com |
| Account name | Company Email |
| Username attribute from Microsoft Entra ID | User principal name |
| Email address attribute from Microsoft Entra ID | Primary SMTP Address |
| SSL | Enable |
| Amount of email to synchronize | Not configured |
| Sync schedule | Not configured |
| Contacts | On |
| Calendar | On |
| Tasks | On |
