Outlook setup on UniKasselClients (UKC's)

All Uni Kassel Clients (UKCs) are provided with a carefully affixed label from the IT Service Center. This label contains important information such as the model designation, the device name, the MAC address, the date of purchase and the warranty end date. This data makes it easier to identify the device and enables quick access to relevant information, especially for support inquiries. Further information on this can be found under UniKasselClient.
If you have a UKC with Windows 11, Outlook 2024 is installed on your device. If you still have a UKC with Windows 10, Outlook 2016 is installed. The initial setup of both versions is simplified by the use of group policies.

A message will appear in the following window stating that your account has been successfully added. Further down in the window, you can add another mailbox if necessary (for example from a secondary account or a group mailbox).
Please uncheck the box "Set up Outlook Mobile on my phone too". The Outlook app for the smartphone is no longer supported for the university email mailbox.
Click on "Process completed" to finish.
Please restart Outlook now. Your mailbox will now be synchronized. This process may take a few minutes.
A window opens with the Outlook account settings. Select your account so that it is highlighted in blue and click on "Change...".
Adding further accounts
To add further accounts, click on "File" and then on "Add account".
A new window opens in which you enter the e-mail address of the mailbox that you would like to add. Then click on "Connect".
The following window will show you that the account has been successfully added. Please click on "Process completed" and restart Outlook.
If this is a secondary account, a corresponding login window will appear.
Enter <its-ad\> followed by the name of the secondary account in the "User name" field and the corresponding password in the "Password" field.
