I have Outlook 2007 connected to Exchange 2007. When I initially configured it, it asked for my password the first time. From then on, it remembered the password.
Recently, our AD policy required that I change my password. Now Outlook always asks for a password to connect to autodiscover.mydomain.com
.
I enter the password, and click "Save password" but it always asks again. I suspect that it has cached the orginal password somewhere, but I can't find it.
Any ideas?
This sounds like the exact same issue I'm having on XP w/Outlook 2007. Inside the XP control panel > users > ... I can't see anyway to see/modify passwords though... any ideas? – scunliffe – 2010-02-22T14:37:59.987
Yes, I tried removing the Exchange Connection, and re-doing the config.
Your second point may be the clue, I did have some entries related to mail servers in my Saved Passwords. That was pat of the method for solving the HTTP/RPC password issue Bruce McCleod mentioned in his answer. I don't use HTTP/RPC on this network, but I tried setting the passwords when I first started troubleshooting this. I'll delete the stored passwords, and see if it fixes it.
I will let you know. – BillN – 2009-07-21T13:43:03.210
1Removing the enteries under Control Panel, User Accounts, Advanced, Saved passwords that related to mail servers. I had several, autodiscover.MYDOMAIN.com, owa.MYDOMAIN.com, and also entries for the Exhange edge servers. I shutdown Outlook, deleted all of them, and restarted Outlook, no prompt. I rebooted the laptop, and still no prompt. YEAH! – BillN – 2009-07-21T15:10:12.733
