Here is how it works, open a new tab and type

http://aka.ms/ad/command

e.g., http://aka.ms/ad/users

Search Bar Support

To reduce typing aka.ms/ all the time, you can add a prefix to make it super quick to get to the aka.ms links.

Once set up all you have to do is

Open a new tab

Type a and press SPACE or TAB

Type in the aka.ms shortcut. eg. ad/users

Microsoft Edge

Go to Settings > Privacy, Search and Services > Scroll all the way down to Services

Select Address bar and search > Manage search engines

Select Add

Fill in the following

Search engine: aka.ms

Shortcut: a (You can choose any prefix you like)

Url: https://aka.ms/%s

A quick alternative to get to the Manage search enginess page is to search for Manage search engines under Settings and select Address bar search
