| What would cause a domain password to allow you on the network but when you
attempt to open outlook it ask you for a password? Once the user changes
there password and log on, they can open outlook with any request for
authentication!
1 Domain - Server 2003 - 8 DCs
Exchange 2003 Cluster - active / passive

Do you mean by your description below that Outlook always asks for the
password at launch, regardless of whether they are connected to the
LAN and logged in with their AD credentials?
If that's the case, I can think of one very specific scenario: Their
Outlook client is set up to do RPC/HTTPS, and Exchange and Outlook are
set up to do Basic Authentication.

| "they can open outlook with any request for authentication" - that should
read "without any authentication."

| So, if steps 1 and 2 below are correct, is it option 3a or 3b below?
1) The user signs onto his (Win2k or later) workstation on the
internal LAN, which gets him onto the domain.
then
2) He then launches Outlook.
then either
3a) Outlook does not prompt for a password, it just opens up to
the mailbox.
or
3b) Outlook does prompt for a password, and once the password is
entered it opens up to the mailbox.
If it's 3a, I would think that Outlook is working as expected.
If it's 3b, I would think that Outlook is configured to use RPC/HTTPS
Or is there something else happening that I don't understand?

| I think he mentioned something about a changed password and when they change the password and login it lets them into outlook no problem. I think we had something like this happen to us and it was caused by a password policy just being changed. I could be way off but I remember something like this.

| Hi Patric
I have seen this a few times.
Root causes:
* Misconfigured AutoDiscover (while holding down the CRTL key, right click the Outlook Icon in the task bar and click "Test e-mail AutoConfiguration". Verify Auto Discover is working and has the correct settings (for both RPC and RPC over HTTPS). Also Verify that the settings allow for external access to Outlook Anywhere.
* Certificate issues (open OWA and check the cert).
This will lead you in the right direction, but the configuration of each is a mine field without further info.
Regards,
Rob

| 3B - outlook prompts for a password!
This happens once a month as if the password for the domain has expired for
outlook but not for the domain if that makes sense.
Once you change the domain password, then you, re login to the network,open
outlook and it does not ask for a password - good for another month for
outlook - a few days later the domain password would need to be changed -
hope this makes sense.

| This is a more clear explanation, but it doesn't make sense! 
I'll have to defer to others, as this is not anything I've ever seen.
