    Hi Sk-73 ,

     

    Yes then can only add organization e-mail accounts. Not personal accounts. It is still possible to add additional organization accounts also from other organizations. 

     

    To create this policy you can create a setting catalog profile. Search for "Block signing into Office (User)", click on "Microsoft Office 2016\Miscellaneous" and add configuration:

     

     

    Enable the configuration setting to enable and select ORG ID only

     

     

     

    Assign policy and save. Happy testing 🙂

     

    If this fix your problem, please mark this as an answer to help others people! 

     

    Kind regards,

     

    Rene

      Hi, DBerry2  is Windows 10 platform.

       

      I self-created a custom configuration profile, but still, allow me to add Hotmail email acc.

      The group policy is assigned to a device group.

      Hi, Mr_Helaas, thanks!

      As per the above attached, is it only allowing the user in adding an organization email to Outlook? If yes, may I know how to create the group policy in intune?
