If you are logged into your machine as yourself, the next screen should automatically fill in your name and email address. If it did, click Next. If it did not, please ensure you are logged into the machine as yourself. If you are and the information is incorrect, simply enter the information requested, including the password in both boxes:

Select OK. Close the Control Panel Window.

Launch Outlook. It will take a few moments for it to complete the building of the profile and downloading a local copy of your mail, calendar, and contacts.

At some point, you may be asked a question about a certificate. If you see a box mentioning a certificate, select OK, Allow, or Yes.

Welcome to the cloud!
