I am using Outlook 2007 with Exchange 2003. When I am offsite and VPN in I am
not authenticated to the network first so when I go to check my email it
prompts for the user name and password. I would like to know where I can put
the username(this much I found) and password <<<Can't find where this is. so
that when I open my email from the VPN that it automatically supplies my
username and password.

Thanks
Dale

Contact your Exchange/Network admin and/or Corporate Help Desk.

Exchange uses the same logon information as your domain account, so if you've
successfully logged into the domain, which, if you've successfully VPN'd
into your server, you have, you should be able to simply access Exchange.

My VPN access is a bit different.  Your VPN username and password are totally
different than your network username and password so you do have to re
authenticate to the Exchange server. thats why I'm looking for where the
password is actually stored in Outlook.

I stand by talking to your help desk.  They should be able to provide you
with instructions for your environment and exactly what configuration options
are supported.

That said, the only solution I can think of is to make sure that your machine
that is running Outlook is a member of the domain and you are logging into
the OS with your domain account and current password.  That *should* keep
Outlook from asking, but it may not.

As far as I am aware, the Exchange Service Provider in Outlook doesn't store
the password for the domain account.  Either you are already validated by
the domain or it will ask you for the password.
