your system administrator has disabled windows features

Instead of the window ‘This feature has…’ it now shows the Microsoft login window for online services.

Service Level Options: Office services only.

Block signing in to Office: Org ID only.

Online Content Options: Allow Office to connect to Internet.

There’s another option in play: Service Level Options. Changed them to all possible options, but without success. Both options (‘Online Content Options’ and ‘Block signing in to Office’) where disabled via GPO. But no solution for the initial problem – the window with This feature has been disabled by your administrator still pops up.Īccording to several support pages, like This feature has been disabled by your administrator error in Microsoft Office – Office 365 | Microsoft Docs, it has something to do with internet access for Office and signing in to Office. And after that, it showed the latest build number. When pressing the update-button, it started downloading updates. And then it still showed the old build number.

Looks like updates don’t get installed? Ok, removed Office from my machine, created a new setup configuration file for Office 2019 and re-installed it. Our build number goes back a year – july 2020. Checked the build number and compared it with the list provided by Microsoft. Maybe caused by an Office update? Tried to check the installed updates, but was directed to a Microsoft ‘what’s new in Office 2019’ page. By simply clicking on ‘Enter password’, the text changes to ‘Online with Exchange’ and the Public Folders are accessibele again. And as a bonus, the status bar in Outlook shows ‘Enter password’ in the lower right corner. At the same time, user’s cannot access Public Folders – they receive the message there’s something wrong with Exchange (we have an on-premise Exchange 2016 server). Haven’t made any changes to settings for months either. This window popped up in Outlook 2019 since the beginning of this week.
