Issue: The Dynamics 365 App for Outlook stopped working. It says that set regarding and track options have been disabled.
Recommended solutions
Dynamics 365 App for Outlook leverages Server-Side Synchronization to keep your Exchange items in sync with Dynamics 365. For example, if you track a meeting in Outlook, App for Outlook relies on Server-Side Synchronization to create the activity in Dynamics 365 and keep the two items in sync.
If we recognize that Server-Side Synchronization is inactive on your mailbox, we will not be able to provide the ability for you to track and set regarding on emails and appointments.
With this updated, instead of blocking you from using App for Outlook, we are providing the ability for you to view your Dynamics 365 information like accounts, contacts, and activities. You can continue to create, update, and manage your information since they are not related to synchronization.
To fix issues with Server-Side Synchronization, contact your administrator, who can view the status of the service and take necessary steps to address the issue.
Additional possible cause
One other potential cause of this message is if the email address in Dynamics 365 does not match the Primary SMTP address in Microsoft Exchange. For example: If a user’s mailbox in Dynamics 365 has the email address value of John@contoso.com but the primary SMTP address in Exchange is John@contoso.com, that would also cause this symptom. Update the email address in Dynamics 365 to match the primary STMP email address in Exchange. When viewing the properties of a mailbox in Exchange, the primary SMTP email address is the one that appears in bold.
After necessary steps are taken to make sure SSS is enabled and email address in Dynamics 365 to match the primary STMP email address in Exchange :
- Close Outlook.
- Open File Explorer and navigate to: %localappdata%\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Wef (Note: The file path may vary based on the Office version, with ‘16.0’ folder above).
- Either delete or rename the ‘webview2’ folder (e.g., rename it to ‘webview2_old’).
- Open Outlook and launch the app.
