Setting up Outlook
Setting up Outlook
Using groupware with Windows PCs
If you log on to your PC by entering a user ID in the format abcd1234, your PC is a member of the w2kroot Windows domain.
In this case, your PC has probably been set up by the IT-Dienste or a local IT administrator and you do not need to change any further settings.
The first time you open Outlook, your user data is automatically entered in Outlook and connected to the inbox of the user account you used to log on to your PC.
If you use more than one email account or work outside the w2kroot Windows domain or the campus network, please follow the instructions for the various Outlook versions:
