I have a client experiencing a strange issue.
A new employee account has been created via Windows Small Business Server 2011, they're logging into that account with the AD credentials on a Windows XP workstation on the domain.
From there, every new user gets setup with an Exchange account, but not one that's hosted on the SBS server, they actually have to use an external server since they have a journaling service they push through, and they provide Exchange access for them.
So I setup the access to their Outlook Anywhere server, put in the proxy info and save it. open Outlook and get prompted for the remote server user/pass (which is another issue, it wont' SAVE that for some reason...) but then when I exit and open Outlook again, it asks for remote.companyabc.com credentials, which is the remote access URL for the SBS2011 box.
I check the proxy settings and it keeps auto-resetting itself to be remote.companyabc.com
Since nobody uses the local on-premises exchange server, I tried disabling Outlook Anywhere on the SBS2011 box, but that didn't help, so I reenabled it again and put the remote proxy server in the hostname field so it would at least auto-populate with the proper address. That seemed to work at first but after leaving Outlook open for a few minutes now, we get another password prompt coming up asking for a password for remote.companyabc.com again, I'm not sure where this is coming from or why?
For reference, none of the other 10 users on the domain are having this issue at all, only this one account. It was renamed from an old account in AD on SBS2011 (not my choice) and the remote exchange server has a new account for the person. dd
they've renamed accounts in the past to my knowledge with no issue. I'm confused as to what could be causing this for one user and not any others though.
