Microsoft Outlook as HS.R Exchange Client

Please use always the latest Outlook Version with all available service-packages.

Set up your mailbox

1. Open Microsoft Outlook.

2. If you are opening Outlook for the first time you may see the following screen. Click twice forward to go ahead.

3. If you are using more than one E-Mail Address with your Outlook we recommend to create an additional profile. This shows you how to do this. start > control panel > Mail > Show Profiles > Email Accounts > Add > Enter a new Profile Name and click ok (Note: The new profile should be marked as standartprofile)

4. If the account assistant filled in your Name and Email correctly, you don't need to take any further steps. If the fields are empty or you want to change your user data, please add or change following fields (please delete every character in the fields):



If you click forward the assistant search for the right serversettings.

5. Maybe on the next screen you need to confirm the configuration URL and enter your username and password.

In this case your user should look like this “hs-regensburg.de\xyz12345” (or “xyz12345@hs-regensburg.de” or the old notation „HSR\xyz12345“). Don't use the given user, that occurs an error!


6. The successful account setup is done by clicking “finish”:

7. Microsoft Outlook is only usable with the Exchange Account. Outlook may ask for your username and password after start. Please enter the known data from step 5.

If you mark “Remember my credentials”, you still may need to enter your password. Still mark every time “Save Credentials”. This process can't be prevented, because Microsoft Outlook need more than once your account data and possibly can't save them at once. After a password change the same applies.

Add additional mailbox

2. Choose your exchange account and click change. Now click “More Settings”, on tab “Advanced” you can add function recognition Wählen Sie Ihr Exchange Konto und klicken Sie auf „Ändern…“ und im folgenden Dialogfeld dann auf „Weitere Einstellungen“.

  6. Switch to the tab “Connection” and click on “Exchange Proxy Settings…”

  8. Close all windows by clicking on “Ok” or “Next…” to save the changes

Entries in the Folder "Sync Issues "

These entries are automatically created by Microsoft Outlook in case of problems with the synchronization with the Exchange Server. If there are many entries, please check the synchronization status via the OWA. If you do not notice any deviations, the entries are erroneous / outdated information, you can automatically delete them using an Outlook rule.

Issues with Permissions and Calendar Sharing

If there are problems with assigning permissions/ calendar sharing to specific contacts, or if they are not possible, it is due to an incorrect entry in the user's local address book being used. You will only be able to access functioning permissionsand calendar releases with users from the Exchange Server's Global Address List , which must be selected as an address book in the respective dialog ( “All Users” or “Global Address List” ). Thereafter, an allocation of permissions and shares should be readily possible.
