Outlook 2007
Friend,
I'm using Outlook 2007 to connect to Exchange 2003. Everything is working well for the most part but for some reason Outlook periodically asks me for my username/password. The problem persists even when I click the "remember username/password" checkbox. I don't understand why this is happening. Outlook and Exchange are both on the same LAN so it's not like I'm losing my connection or anything. What's causing this? It usually happens if Outlook has been open but inactive for a while and I try to do something like drag an email into a folder or manage my calendar. Everything works well after entering my username/password but then in a few hours it'll ask again. This has become so irritating that I'm considering ditching Exchange and reverting back to POP3 accounts. It should be noted that I did follow the recommendation of going to ToolsAccountsMy Exchange AccountMore Settings and selecting "Manually Control Connection State" and "Connect with the Network." This helped some. The popups don't appears as frequently as they used to but they still appear enough to make the Outlook/Exchange combo unworkable for me. What else can I try? Thanks. |

Have you verified you are not actually losing connectivity to your network?
Do you have managed network switch to perform some monitoring? Have you checked your Event Log on your computer for any related errors? Sounds to me that your computer is losing connectivity to your network which is the reason why Outlook is asking for credentials. -- John Oliver, Jr MCSE, MCT, CCNA Exchange MVP 2008 Microsoft Certified Partner "Jules Winfield" wrote in message ...

I'm having exactly the same problem. It isn't network connectivity,
and other computers also running Outlook 2007 connecting to the same Exchange server that are on the same LAN are not having this problem. I also have done the suggested workaround that Jules mentions. Any ideas? -Tristan On Jul 22, 10:50*pm, "John Oliver, Jr. [MVP]" wrote: Have you verified you are not actually losing connectivity to your network?
