FWIW, as long as the option is set to use basic authentication then one has
to supply credentials regardless. The sad part is that while you can go
with NTLM authentication for the RPC/HTTPS proxy part, there are many
firewall solutions (e.g. PIX) that trash the authentication attempt and
cause RPC/HTTPS to fail.

But a logon to the laptop is not the same as an authentication against
Exchange.

Yes that is what i want it to do, but i don't want it to prompt me for a
username and password as the user will have already logged onto the
laptop

Hard to say without any configuration info. Most likely you have the
option
"on fast networks..." enabled so it will still try to connect via RPC
over
HTTP on the local network.

Hi all

Easy one for you all

Basically RPC over HTTP is working fine out of office. But when the
user
is
back in the office and connected locally they are always getting the
username/password dialog box and i want to irradicate this as they
have
already authenticated on the network. Can anyone advise me

Thanks
