Setting Up Outlook with 365 – something went wrong and outlook couldn’t set up your account. please try again. if the problem continues, contact your email administrator

Recently cut over a domain from an old 365 tenant to a new one, upon trying to add the email account to outlook was visit with the error

The old account had been enrolled in Intune here

Removing the old account here , I tried to enroll the new account however I got an enrollment message pop up , this something happens due to old enrollment data getting stuck

Delete ( or clear as much as you can from the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Enrollments ) then try again

What fixed it

  • Sign out of the Account in Office
  • De-Register the Machine from AAD (Settings -> Work and School Accounts)
  • Delete all of the AAD certificates in the User’s Personal Certificate Store
  • Reboot

Note if you try and sign in to Office at this point, you will get a modern auth prompt but never get asked for a password

  • Re-Register the Machine with AAD
  • Re-License Office
  • Outlook and Autodiscover tests will now work
