How to suppress the AutoDiscover redirect warning in Outlook 2007/2010/2013

After setting up the SRV record for Autodiscover service, launching Outlook 2010 or Outlook 2013, users may get the following warning.

Allow this website to configure user@domain server settings?

http://<autodiscover url>

Your account was redirected to this website for settings.
You should only allow settings from sources you know and trust.


To solve this problem, an administrator needs to add a registry setting for users.

I will use Group Policy Preferences to deploy the registry setting for users.

1. At DC01, log in as Domain Administrator.
2. Launch "Group Policy Management Console".
3. Right-click the GPO which is assigned to the users using Outlook 2010,  select "Edit".


4. Expand "User Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings > Registry".
5. Right-click "Registry", select "New > Registry Item".
6. Next to "Action", select "Update".
7. Next to "Hive", select "HKEY_CURRENT_USER".
8. Next to "Key Path", type "Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Autodiscover\RedirectServers".
9. Next to "Value name", type "<HTTPS server to which Autodiscover can be redirected>".

Remark: The Key path is 14.0 for Outlook 2010 and 15.0 for Outlook 2013.

Example:
imail.contoso.com

10. Next to "Value type", select "Reg_SZ".


11. Click "OK".
12. Close "Group Policy Management Editor" and "Group Policy Management Console".

After assigned the GPO, launching Outlook 2010, users don't get the warning.

Remark: If your environment is more than 1 Autodiscover record, you have to add each one.
