• How To Know My Microsoft Exchange Server Name

I didn't ask if anyone knew what it was. I asked how to find it.Ask an ambiguous question and you might not get the answer you expected. See for guidance.I am setting up my exchange email account on my iphone and the only info left to fill in is Server in the form of server.company.comSo exactly where does it say above that you have asked 'how to find it'? And I am none the wiser even now.

Do you mean where in your building is it? How would I know? Go looking for it.If you mean the name of the server, as I have already stated this can either be entered as an IP address, i.e. A 'public' IP address, or it might be referred to by name as dictated by DNS servers on the internet.

If your exchange server does not have a(fixed) public IP address then you need to get one.Contact your IT department or the people who host your domain/exchange server/e-mail. Speculation is pointless, this forum cannot help you.By the way, if my memory serves me correctly, default set up of Exchange Server does not permit iPhone access.

So you are probably going to have to get someone to enable this if it hasn't already been done for someone else. If it has already been done forsomeone else ask them what their settings are.

Also, firewalls may need to have ports opened up.

In order to setup an app to check my Office 365 email account, I need the email server name. I can find this in Outlook under the account settings in Outlook, no problem.I used to be able to find the mail server settings in the O365 web version, under the blue question mark and about, among other things the mail server woudl be listed. However, since our recent update of O365, the blue question mark doesn't hold this information. I also notice that the server name (as seen in Outlook) is a very long random looking string.Do you know where I can find server name in the web version of O365?

I expect it might be streamlined so all I will need to do is enter a username and password and the iPad will take care of cofiguration.However, I have had to enter a server name when setting up a smartphone for email. As I said, I used to just go to the online web outlook and find the server settings, but since our upgrade, it's not there. Looking where you suggested doesn't show anything.A.J., the POP and IMAP entries aren't what I'm looking for.

Before the O365 upgrade my server name looked like this:. Now it looks like this: 735e10fe-6825-4382-9aaf. @domain.com (as found in MS Outlook).Where would I ever find a server name like that?If the iPads work like the iPhone and you have auto discover setup, then you are correct. You only need to enter their 'user ID' which is their email address and password.

It should auto discover. When it asks for the server name you would put in outlook.office365.com leave domain blank if it shows that field.

You will see your server settings there.Or just use 'Outlook.office365.com'Or you can get the URL of your OWA by looking in the URL bar.Or go to OWA, then hit the job wheel on top right, then go to Options, then Settings, Then 'Settings for POP or IMAP'Dang you.beat me to it.LOL:PThanks,A.J.

You should not need it if the auto discover record is setup properly.The reason why, is in a 'hosted' environment, if for any reason, Microsoft, or the hosting company you are with, has to move you, you will not be able to connect.

This is why you do not use the server name.So, what type of smartphone is this?Agreed. ESPECIALLY for O365, let it autodiscover.Thanks,A.J.
