Logon Box in outlook 2003 using RPC over HTTP

[Art Vandelay]

I have users connecting to my exchange server via RPC over HTTP.

When the user starts outlook 2003 (on xp s1) he is always prompted for a
password.

The client is not a member of the same domain, but his password is the same.
I am guessing that microsoft may have fixed file and print services /
authentication where the password is always passed to the client?

There is also sometimes a check box on the dialog box that says remember
password. - This never seems to work. It never remembers the password if
checked, and the box never stays checked.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Set the following registry-entry on the client:


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]
"lmcompatibilitylevel"=dword:00000002

The fix is very appreciated.

What are the repucusions for doing this???

I am guessing this is lowering security for authentication?

Set the following registry-entry on the client:


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]
"lmcompatibilitylevel"=dword:00000002
