Outlook 365 Exchange configuration linked to AD user

Hello and good afternoon everyone,

I would like to know if it is possible to link the configuration of Outlook with the Exchange service through the user login in the domain.

For example: Maria does not have a fixed computer at the company and this company uses Office 365 + Enchange boxes. She cannot have access to the email password.

Every time Maria switches computers, will I need to configure Outlook with the Exchange account?

Maria has an Exchange license, but not a 365 key (365 keys are hardware-related, not users).

Is there any way through GPO or script to allow that when the user logs in, Outlook is already configured with the account?

Thanks!

    Hi @Plugged Nag Manutenção

    Have you deployed Azure AD connect to sync on-premises AD with Azure AD in your environment?

    To my knowledge this is not possible.

    As to login Exchange online mailboxes, you may need authenticate with the credentials of Exchange Online mailboxes.
    So email address and password are required.
    And if you have MFA enabled, you also need to authenticate via MFA.
    There is no method to store these credentials in local AD to have Outlook auto-configured with these credentials.

    Hi there,

    If Maria switches computers often then all the PC that she makes the switches on must have Exchange for mail flow configured.

    After you've installed Exchange Server in your organization, you need to configure Exchange for mail flow and client access.

    What you can try is Outlook on the web. Outlook on the web (formerly known as Outlook Web App or Outlook Web Access) is a browser-based email client. Outlook on the web lets you access your Microsoft Exchange Server mailbox from almost any web browser.
