Configure an Exchange Server connection - Configure settings for a new Exchange Server connection, or replace the settings in an existing Exchange Server connection. Enter the following information:

• User Name - Identify the user with a specific value or replaceable parameter. If you specify the default %USERNAME%, Outlook uses the user's exact logon name, rather than prompting the user with possible variations when Outlook starts.
• Exchange Server - Enter the name of an Exchange server that is likely to be available when users start Outlook. When a user starts Outlook for the first time, Outlook replaces this value with the userΓÇÖs correct Exchange server. Provide only a literal server name in this text box; for example, Exch-2-Srvr. Do not include backslashes (\\) or similar syntax.
• Overwrite existing Exchange settings if an Exchange connection exists - Select this option to replace an existing Exchange Server account in the userΓÇÖs profile with this account.
