Office Registry Fixes for Various O365 Issues

Outlook ignores autodiscover because your domain is part of an O365 instance, even though you use on-prem exchange-

Open RegEdit
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\AutoDiscover
New DWORD entry, ExcludeExplicitO365Endpoint -  value of 1.
------------------------------------------------------
You are using SAML and you get a white or invisible ghost window instead of a login screen-

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity]
"DisableADALatopWAMOverride"=dword:00000001

If the above key change alone does not work, edit this additional Registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity]
"DisableAADWAM"=dword:00000001

---------------------------------------------------------------
Prevent Outlook from ignoring autodiscover and connectiving to office 365
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\x.0\Outlook\AutoDiscover]
"ExcludeExplicitO365Endpoint"=dword:00000001

---------------------------------------------------------------
You get a white window or one that disappears quickly-
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity]
"DisableADALatopWAMOverride"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity] 
"DisableAADWAM"=dword:00000001

 
REMOVE EnableADAL under-
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity .

ADD-
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity]
"DisableADALatopWAMOverride"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity] 
"DisableAADWAM"=dword:00000001

Outlook 2019 won't autodiscover and keeps prompting for password with on-prem Exchange.


If you have your domain associated with an Office 365 account, Outlook will completely ignore autodiscover and try to authenticate to Office 365.

Open RegEdit
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\AutoDiscover 
New DWORD entry, ExcludeExplicitO365Endpoint -  value of 1.
------------------------------------------------------------
You are using a SAML provider and get a white blank screen or a ghost login screen-

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity]
"DisableADALatopWAMOverride"=dword:00000001

If the above key change alone does not work, edit this additional Registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity] 
"DisableAADWAM"=dword:00000001
