Dynamics for Outlook - Cannot connect

Posted on by 5

Hi!

Currently I'm unable to connect to Dynamics 365 (online) with Outlook.

Whenever I click the "Configure Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Outlook" button I get the following error: "There is a problem communicating with the Microsoft Dynamics 365 server. The server might be unavailable. (...)"

Login through the web is possible.

The log is unfortunately rather generic:

Is that a known error? Are there any workarounds?

I'm rather clueless at this point.

Thanks in advance!

    RE: Dynamics for Outlook - Cannot connect

    Hello Michael,

    The Dynamics Outlook Client has been deprecated for Dynamics Online as of 1/15/2021. The original deprecation was supposed to be back in October 2020, but was fully shut off on January 15th:

    community.dynamics.com/.../announcing-the-deprecation-of-the-dynamics-365-for-outlook-com-add-in

    The connection will no longer succeed as the endpoint has been shut off. Moving forward, you would want to transition to the new Dynamics 365 App for outlook:

    user guide: docs.microsoft.com/.../dynamics-365-app-outlook-user-s-guide

    how to deploy: docs.microsoft.com/.../deploy-dynamics-365-app-for-outlook

    Thanks,

    Tyson
