Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/troubleshoot/administration/disabling-adal-wam-not-recommended There is this MS article from March 3/16/2023 stating that starting with build 16.0.7967 office client apps, MS changed the default Office auth type to Web Account Manager (WAM). So for any of you that found that forcing to ADAL, or reverting to an older version than March.. That seems to align.
I note in many of the posts, resetting profiles, deleting certain office or auth related folders would clear the error at least temporarily.
I'll note that we are using Citrix UPM(User profile management) which is a streamed/roaming user profile service... The behavior is identical, and arrived on day one of our Sept patched image (both office and windows Sept patches). Not really any reports prior to that.
I provided our team this blog and the registry entries that some of you kindly posted as workarounds (forcing ADAL), we'll see how that goes.
For MS's part, a rewrite/fix/re-think/self-healing of files written to profile (with minimal needed user action) is required. Even if "something went wrong (1001)" then add 'would you like to log out and try again" which would/could clear the profile files and re-create them, instead of everyone here supporting customers having to do it, would be a good start. :-)
