Folks
I’m having a problem with Outlook 2003 not remembering my credentials from one session to the other.
My computer is NOT part of a domain and I have to connect to my Exchange server with a full “domain / user / password” combination.
Now the interesting part is that my setup was working just fine until last week, when our IT migrated from Exchange 2000 to 2003. Since then every time I launch Outlook 2003 it asks me for a password to connect to the Exchange server regardless if I select the “remember password” check box or not.
Let me emphasize that the very same machine / Outlook 2003 SP1 / etc was working just fine with Exchange 2000.
I have tried the various options under the ‘Logon Network Security’ (kerberos/NTLM Password Authentication, Kerberos Password Authentication, and NTLM Password Authentication) to no avail.
I can force Outlook to always prompt for a password, but when I disable that option it still will not remember the password.
I have tried to re-create my profile from scratch.
I have also tried the following http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?…l2002#appliesto
My suspicion is that Exchange 2003 and / or AD2003 has some new group policy that prevents non domain authenticated clients from saving their user / password. Is there such a setting (have not found it browsing through the Exchange documentation, but I might very well have missed it) and if so is there a client side method to find out it’s value ?
Are those properties available to the VBA object model (i.e. is there a way to script the connection) ?
Anything else I might have missed ?
Any suggestion welcome
Thanks
Alex
