Install WorkZone 365

Prerequisite: WorkZone 365 Outlook - Mail module is only supported with Microsoft Exchange Server Online. It is not supported with Exchange Server 2019.

Download manifests

Before installing, you must download the manifests from the WorkZone server. Use this link with the proper host name:

https://[hostname]/app/office/webaddins/outlook/meeting/MeetingManifest.xml

https://[hostname]/app/office/webaddins/outlook/mail/MailManifest.xml

Adjust the MeetingManifest.xml

Tip: Save a copy of each manifest locally to easily access GUIDs. It will help you monitor all your instances and versions of WorkZone 365 for Outlook.

If you use multiple instances of WorkZone 365 for Outlook on the same Exchange server, or different versions of WorkZone 365 for Outlook on the same Exchange server, you must change WorkZone 365 GUID in the MeetingManifest.xml.

  1. Generate a new GUID by using any online GUID generation tool, for example, GUID Generator.
  2. When GUID is updated, upload manifest to the Exchange Admin Center.
