In this guide we will prevent Outlook from bypassing the Autodiscover DNS record so you can continue to use your choice of Exchange Server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The problem with <strong>Outlook Direct Connect<\/strong> is that it instructs Outlook to connect to O365 regardless of what is set in DNS.  Although this may be of use to customers who are using O365, for the rest, it can cause a lot of problems, especially if you have a Hybrid Exchange environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Hybrid environment is a typical scenario for larger organisations, where they have thier own internal Exchange Servers and are also using O365.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you require <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tidyhhosts.com\/hosted-exchange\">Hosted Exchange<\/a>, you can view the options available from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\">Tidyhosts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_88 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\"><p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<\/div><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\/blog\/prevent-outlook-from-bypassing-autodiscover\/#requirements\" >Requirements<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\/blog\/prevent-outlook-from-bypassing-autodiscover\/#before_you_begin\" >Before you begin<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\/blog\/prevent-outlook-from-bypassing-autodiscover\/#solution_1_registry\" >Solution 1: Registry<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\/blog\/prevent-outlook-from-bypassing-autodiscover\/#step_1_find_and_open_regedit\" >Step 1: Find and open regedit<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\/blog\/prevent-outlook-from-bypassing-autodiscover\/#step_2_find_the_autodiscover_entry\" >Step 2: Find the AutoDiscover entry<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\/blog\/prevent-outlook-from-bypassing-autodiscover\/#step_3_create_a_new_entry\" >Step 3: Create a new entry<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\/blog\/prevent-outlook-from-bypassing-autodiscover\/#solution_2_command_prompt\" >Solution 2: Command prompt<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\/blog\/prevent-outlook-from-bypassing-autodiscover\/#step_1_find_and_open_the_command_prompt\" >Step 1: Find and open the command prompt<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\/blog\/prevent-outlook-from-bypassing-autodiscover\/#step_2_enter_the_command\" >Step 2: Enter the command<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\/blog\/prevent-outlook-from-bypassing-autodiscover\/#solution_3_powershell\" >Solution 3: Powershell<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-11\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\/blog\/prevent-outlook-from-bypassing-autodiscover\/#step_1_find_and_open_powershell\" >Step 1:  Find and open Powershell<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-12\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\/blog\/prevent-outlook-from-bypassing-autodiscover\/#step_2_enter_the_powershell_command\" >Step 2: Enter the powershell command<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"requirements\"><\/span>Requirements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You will need access to use the Registry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Optional access to the Powershell module<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Optional access to the Command Prompt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your Autodiscover DNS records need to be set correctly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"before_you_begin\"><\/span>Before you begin <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please use extreme caution when modifying the Registry.
