It is a SBS 2011 domain, single server. They are using Exchange. Whenever a new profile is set up Outlook automatically autodiscovers the Exchange Server and configures Outlook. I am going to be migrating them to Office 365 and don't want this autodiscover to keep automatically configuring Outlook to the Exchange Server. I basically want to disable autodiscover on the SBS 2011 Server.
There are a million different articles about it and each one seems different. Has anyone actually done this on a SBS 2011 Server and can confirm that it works? What are the steps?

The way to do this after the move to Office365 is to change the internal Autodiscover value to point to Office365.
set-clientaccessserver servername -AutodiscoverServiceInternalURI https://autodiscover.outlook.com/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml
The clients will still do Autodiscover, but will be pointed straight to the Office365 service. If you remove Exchange from the SBS then the clients continue to go to the correct place.
