I'm thinking about giving Outlook 2016 a try but I know we are not using the latest version of Exchange.
Observations about Office 2016 (Publisher, OneNote, and Word) Al Williams: 2020-12-03 11:16 by Al Williams: 1 MS Office 2016 crashes: Patrick Martin: 2020-11-19 02:58 by Patrick Martin: 1 How to activate office 2016 through kms: 王泽: 2020-11-02 09:28 by Anna Lasky: 4 Crossover 20 Linux Office 2016 activation: Teddy doure: 2020-10-28 08:46. Office 2016 for Mac is fully supported on macOS 10.13 High Sierra. If you encounter issues.
Another accidental compatibility issue that comes up often is installing Office 2016 on a PC or Mac. The cross-platform compatibility of Office 365 software suites may have contributed to this confusion among some customers, so we would like to clear the air. Since Office 2016 is a perpetual license, you buy the software once at a single price. Microsoft Outlook 2013, 2016, 2019 for Windows Yes Yes+Pin. Microsoft Outlook 2016, 2019 for Mac Yes Yes Outlook on the web (Outlook.com) Yes Yes Outlook app for iOS or Android: Yes Yes Any other desktop or mobile client that can be connected to Microsoft Exchange. In order to open registry editor click Start Run type 'regedit' (without quotes) hit Enter. Navigate to HKEYCURRENTUSER Software Microsoft Office 16.0 Outlook AutoDiscover and create the following registry key: 'ExcludeHttpsRootDomain'=dword:00000001.
- Which versions of Exchange does Outlook 2016 support?
- How can I check which version I'm currently using?
- How do I configure an Exchange account in Outlook 2016?
As a general rule of thumb, any version of Outlook supports 5 different Exchange versions;
- 2 previous versions of Exchange
- its corresponding Exchange version
- 2 future versions of Exchange
So Outlook 2016 supports;
- Exchange 2010
- Exchange 2013
- Exchange 2016
- Exchange 2019 (vNext 1)
- Exchange vNext 2
Note: To determine your current version of Exchange from within Outlook see: Which Exchange version am I using?
Configuring an Exchange account in Outlook 2016
The option to manually configure an Exchange account has been removed in Outlook 2016. This was a legacy configuration screen that was only needed for Exchange 2003 and previous and didn't really serve a purpose anymore for later versions of Exchange.
Instead of using the manual configuration use the Auto Account Setup wizard.
Depending on your Update Channel of Office, you either only have to fill out your email address or need to provide your name, email address and password and your Exchange account will be automatically configured by the settings that are being pushed from the Autodiscover service of Exchange.
Don't make it any harder for yourself than needed; The new Add Account dialog only requires your to fill out the email address of the account you want to add.
Even in the old Auto Account Setup dialog, you are only really required to fill out your email address to add an Exchange account.
Auto Account Setup fails
When Auto Account Setup fails, contact your Exchange administrator as it would indicate a configuration issue with the Autodiscover service in the Exchange environment.
Proper configuration of the Autodiscover and Outlook Anywhere service can be tested via the Microsoft Remote Connectivity Analyzer.
For more information about configuring the Autodiscover and Outlook Anywhere service see: Autodiscover: Some quick methods to get it working.
Exchange versions and Outlook support
Exchange support works in the same way, so Exchange 2016 will no longer support Outlook 2007.
The only exception to this was when you were connecting to an Office 365 Exchange 2016 server.
However, as of October 31, 2017, Office 365 dropped support for Outlook 2007 as well. This wasn't a total surprise considering that support for Outlook 2007 itself stopped on October 10, 2017 already.
Moving from your PC to your new Mac? Consider it done.
With macOS, you can move all the information from your old PC to your new Mac. Built-in Windows-to-Mac migration in macOS automatically transfers your documents, music, contacts, calendars, and email accounts (Outlook and Windows Live Mail), and puts them in the appropriate folders and applications on your new Mac. Just like that.
If you buy your Mac at an Apple Store, Personal Setup can help you get off to a great start.
Office For Mac Compatibility
Work with anyone.
Every Mac comes with Pages, Numbers, and Keynote — powerful productivity apps from Apple that help you create stunning documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. You can collaborate with one person or many people to create and edit Pages, Keynote, and Numbers files. And everyone can work on the same document at the same time — from across town or across the globe. You can also open, edit, and save Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files with these apps, so you can easily work with others, regardless of whether they're on a Mac or PC.
Use Microsoft Office for Mac. Connect to Microsoft Exchange Server.
Fun fact: There's a version of Microsoft Office written just for Mac. So you can use Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on a Mac just like on a PC.
macOS also provides built-in support for the latest version of Microsoft Exchange Server. So you can use all the apps you love on your Mac, and have access to your mail, contacts, and calendar from the office, all at the same time.
Access your files from anywhere with iCloud.
Your Mac comes with iCloud Drive, which lets you safely store all your presentations, spreadsheets, PDFs, images, and any other kinds of files in iCloud. Then you can access them from any device, including your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC.1
Industry standard‑bearer.
Thanks to its support for industry standards, macOS works with virtually all email providers and websites. It also lets you view the most common file types, including Office documents, PDFs, images, text files, MP3s, videos, ZIP files, and more.
So if you're moving files from a PC or if your friends and colleagues send you files, you can rest assured they'll work beautifully on your Mac.
Relax. Your camera, printer, and mouse work, too.
Office 2016 For Mac Exchange Compatibility Today
Almost any device that connects to a computer via USB, audio cable, or Bluetooth will work with a Mac. That includes digital cameras, external hard drives, printers, keyboards, speakers, and even your right-click mouse. And with technologies like AirPrint and the array of class drivers included with macOS, you can start using these devices as soon as you plug them in — no need to manually download additional software.
A Mac can even run Windows.
Have a Windows application you need to use once in a while? No problem. Every new Mac lets you install and run Windows at native speeds, using a built-in utility called Boot Camp.
Setup is simple and safe for your Mac files. After you've completed the installation, you can boot up your Mac using either macOS or Windows. (That's why it's called Boot Camp.) Or if you want to run Windows and Mac applications at the same time — without rebooting — you can install Windows using VMware or Parallels software.2
Connect to PCs over a network.
The Finder not only lets you browse files on your Mac, it also makes it easy to find files on other computers — both Mac and PC — on your home network. Computers that allow file sharing automatically show up in the Shared section of the Finder sidebar, allowing you to browse files and folders you have permission to view.
