Here\u2019s how I did that:  <\/p>\n<p>1. Open an elevated command prompt and back up the IIS configuration (explained <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.iis.net\/bills\/archive\/2008\/03\/24\/how-to-backup-restore-iis7-configuration.aspx\">here<\/a>):  <\/p>\n<p><code>%windir%\\system32\\inetsrv\\appcmd.exe add backup \"Before Removing Autodiscover\"<\/code>  <\/p>\n<p>2. Open an <strong>elevated<\/strong> Exchange Management Shell and retrieve the current autodiscover virtual directory:  <\/p>\n<p><code>Get-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory | fl Name, Server, InternalUrl, ExternalUrl, Identity<\/code>  <\/p>\n<p>Save the results to a text file in case you need them to re-set the virtual directory later (see Schyler Jones\u2019 comment below on December 2, 2015). Copy the Identity value to the clipboard.  <\/p>\n<p>3. In the Exchange Management Shell, remove the autodiscover virtual directory:  <\/p>\n<p><code>Remove-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory \u2013Identity \"<em>&lt;identity value retrieved above&gt;<\/em>\"<\/code>  <\/p>\n<p>You will have to confirm by typing a \u201cY\u201d.  <\/p>\n<p>4. Check that the autodiscover virtual directory is gone:  <\/p>\n<p><code>Get-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory | fl Name, Server, InternalUrl, Identity<\/code>  <\/p>\n<p>This should now return nothing.  <\/p>\n<p>5. Now, with Outlook running on a desktop, hold the <strong>Ctrl<\/strong> button, right-click on the Outlook icon in the system tray, and select <strong>Test E-mail AutoConfiguration<\/strong>. Enter your email address and password and click the <strong>Test<\/strong> button. The results should come from the Office 365 server.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/www.mcbsys.com\/blog\/2011\/08\/using-office-365-in-an-sbs-2008-environment-take-2\/ get-clientaccessserver | set-clientaccessserver \u2013autodiscoverserviceinternaluri &#8220;https:\/\/autodiscover.outlook.com\/Autodiscover\/Autodiscover.xml&#8221; Getting Outlook to Autodiscover Office 365 While editing the Service Connection Point in Active Directory Sites and Services does work, it\u2019s probably not the \u201capproved\u201d way to do things.
