I'm being asked to upgrade from Office 2016 and it's associated Outlook to something more current because, well that's what they want...
Office 2019, 2021, 2024? Do the registry hacks still apply? Which are still relevant? Do later versions know to look at the 16.0 registry key for these settings, or do we need to place them in the current version registry settings?
I am also confused seeing some recent posts suggesting "PreferLocalXML" should be set to 1 and referencing a local xml file, but I can't find an example of what the local xml file should contain to make it useful.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\AutoDiscover]
