I just fixed my issue - it turned out it was the **#&*^@(@<@^*#* proxy server's fault. :( Grumble grumble.

All it took to fix it was to go into the advanced proxy server settings and exclude remote.domain.com. I did that via GPO and all of a sudden everything started working again.

Stupid proxy server. Bane of my existance.

I managed to solve this, although it may not work for you as this was happening on my test netwrok so I thought "what the hell?", I also need to learn how to do a fresh install of SBS 2008.

I did a fresh install and had the same problem! After banging my head on the wall for a few minutes, I Googled around a bit.

I installed Exchange Service Pack 2 using the installation tool. When I opened Outlook it asked again, but I put in the username as domainname.local\username and password and it's fine now.

Worth a try.

I've got the exact same issue, and it's really cramping my style. I noticed that the book never tells you to uninstall Exchange 2003 from the old SBS 2003 server - a microsoft support tech I'm working with seems to think the two may be related. :( Grumble grumble grumble. I bought this book relying on it to fill in the gaps from the MS migration whitepaper...I didn't expect _it_ to have a gap as glaring as not uninstalling Exchange 2003. Not that I'm bitter or anything.

Outlook 2007 prompting for password since migration

Hi there

I bought the book to specifically help me migrate from SBS 2003 to SBS 2008.

Most of it went well but now Outlook keeps prompting for a username and password.

If I type in my old credentials or click cancel, I can send and receive, but it's a pain.

This is happening on both my Vista Business Desktop, and Windows 7 Ultimate laptop.

On the laptop it alternates between asking to log onto my old server name and remote.mydomain. On the desktop it's just remote.mydomain.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
