Re: Outlook -> remote exchange -> always wants a password

That is possible only under certain conditions. Certain firewalls including
ISA will not pass NTLM properly.

What you're looking for is possible if the laptop is running XP Pro. XP
Home will prompt for the login credentials every time even if configured
identically to a properly configured XP Pro machine. I learned that hard
lesson when my boss got a new home computer with XP Home.

That said, it's possible to get an XP Pro laptop properly configured with
Outlook 2003 if you have the necessary patch level on XP and tweak at
least one registry setting. My home PC (and for that matter, all my
laptop users) are set up to open Outlook and work with no password prompt
at all. If you have XP Pro post back and I'll provide details, I'll have
to dig them up since I haven't used them all in a while. It's been a
while since I configured the server so my advice will probably only be
useful on the client configuration side, I don't have time to revisit and
remember what I did on the server side of things. From your post it
sounds like your server setup is probably good.

Note that I AM using NTLM authentication, which I prefer to basic. And it
IS working as you describe.

Hi;

Asking again.

On my daughters first laptop I had it set up so Outlook did remote
access of exchange (MAPI) and it did not prompt her for her
username/password. So I am 99% certain that the SBS end is set up
correctly.

I had to get her a new laptop (she could not get ArcView, The Sims,
and Rollercoaster Tycoon all on the hard drive of the old one - and
apparently those are all necessities of life).

I have Outlook able to get to Exchange using https. But it prompts her
for her username & password every time she starts Outlook. How do I
get it to save that info so she is not prompted? I followed the
instructions from server/remote exactly.

I tried NTLM (instead of basic authentication) - but then login
failed. I tried user, windward\user, user@windward, and
user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx and none of them worked.

thanks - dave
