Sometimes when configuring new Office 365 profile to Outlook 2016 it shows this wizard instead of the old style profile configurator. I have not figured out what triggers this becase sometimes we get this and sometimes not when configuring Office 365 account to Outlook

Hi,

This is because Outlook 2016 has detected that you are currently logged on to the desktop with a federated user account.

I'm assuming you've integrated your Office 365 with your on-premises environment, correct? (Read more: https://blogs.office.com/2014/04/15/synchronizing-your-directory-with-office-365-is-easy/)

With this wizard, all you need to do is to click the "Connect" button, and enter your password, then Outlook 2016 will take care of the rest.

Regards,

Ethan Hua
