In order to disable auto-discover from running continually from within Microsoft Outlook for Mac after the first configuration of the account, follow the below steps:
1) Open Microsoft Outlook.
2) Run the Apple Script Editor and run the below, substituting <Account Name> for the display name of your Microsoft Exchange account..
tell application “Microsoft Outlook”
set background autodiscover of exchange account <Account Name> to false
end tell
You can also disable auto-discover for all Microsoft Exchange accounts
tell application “Microsoft Outlook”
set background autodiscover of every Exchange account to false
end tell
In order to enable auto-discover change false to true and run the above steps.
Thanks Dean, needed to turn off autodiscover when preparing to migrate users to Office 365.
