CIT has determined that this prompt is expected behavior from Microsoft. It happens when the AutoDiscover Service looks up a user account in the on-premise directory and is then redirected to the correct location in Office 365.\n\nThe recommended action is to check the "don't ask me" checkbox and click Allow. | CIT has determined that this prompt is expected behavior from Microsoft.
