Creating a Shortcut to the Web Console in Microsoft Outlook

Applies to: On-premises environment

On your end users' computers, in Microsoft Outlook, you can create a folder that is a shortcut to the Web Console. When a user clicks the shortcut, the Web Console opens in a browser to a page that is specific to the current user.

Important

After you create the shortcut, if you update or upgrade the operating system of the Web Console computer with Microsoft Office updates, the shortcut might not work. You can create the shortcut again.
