A popup dialog box will prompt the user to either install the updates or be reminded later. If the user clicks "Yes", Outlook will shut down, the latest updates will be installed and Outlook will restart after the installation. The initial installation of the OC client requires a user with administrative rights to manually install the auto update service. The auto update service handles the update deployment, allowing users without administrative rights to install updates. The auto update service must be running for the auto update feature to work. The Automatic Update Service Feature for 64-bit OC version requires MDaemon v16.5.0 or higher.

Please refer to MDaemon 16.5.0 release note for additional information about MDaemon's [8526] Centralized Management of OC Client Settings feature.
• [9399] Outlook Connector will attempt to automatically discover settings. Users only need to provide their email address and password to connect to the MDaemon server. When the user clicks Test & Get settings Outlook Connector will try to find the server by testing common FQDN values.

  For SMTP, it tries mail.domain using port 587, 25, and then 465 first using SSL and then TLS. This is repeated for smtp.domain, the domain name, and then smtp.mail.domain. If all attempts fail then non-encrypted logins are attempted.
