How to set up MS Exchange Autodiscover alongside Wordpress

My client's IT person has thrown up a flag regarding their need to use MS Exchange Autodiscover service, and that potential issues may possibly arise (ie as a result of sharing the domain with the WordPress website).

From my reading and discussions with the client's IT person, it should work without needing any additional steps - but may result in unwanted request handling (ie by WordPress), and even sever errors if just left for WordPress to figure out.

Ideally I don't WP touching these requests (want to keep things as separate as possible).

The default URL Autodiscover looks for is:

https://www.example.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml

I am thinking that maybe creating a special rule for in the .htaccess file to keep that particular URL from being processed by WP or the other .htaccess rules?

If this is the best way to go, perhaps someone could show me an example of this?

Or if there are other preferred ways to have these two coexist?
