How Do I Turn Off Autodiscover?
We have started installing Outlook 2007 on a small network with Exchange
2003. We are starting to get certificate warnings about autodiscover.mydomain.com, but we simply want to stop Outlook from autodiscovering anything. How do we turn this off? Autodiscover seems to be largely a waste in our case. Not only are we are more than capable of typing in the server name (quicker than setting up or troubleshooting autodiscover), but Outlook is trying to "discover" when the user's account is already established - no need to discover anything. |

And Exchange 2007 has never been on the network? The must be something
published on that address otherwise you don't get a certificate error either (it means their has been a connection). Check if it has been set as a policy in; HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Offi ce\12.0\Outlook\AutoDiscover Value name: ZeroConfigExchange Value type: REG_DWORD Value data: 1 Or manually in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\O utlook\AutoDiscover Value name: ZeroConfigExchange Value type: REG_DWORD Value data: 1 -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "Bob L."

Robert,
Neither of those entries exist in the registry, and we definitely have never considered installing or even looking at Exchange 2007. We only upgraded MS Office from 2003 to 2007. The security warning is appearing because the DNS for our domain includes a wildcard, so the autodiscover addresses actually resolves to the same as www - our public web site. We're not so much concerned about the security warning - we actully just want to stop Outlook from trying to autodiscover altogether. We need to find that "secret" checkbox or something!
