Hi! I have set-up IIS/OWA with Exchange Server 5.5 SP3 together on a computer, enabling NTLM authentication in IIS. Our users access OWA via the internet. We added some code on logon.asp so that the user's mailbox name is automatically entered but my problem is the network prompt (Name, Password, Domain) comes up the first time. Can we avoid this first time prompt? We want our users not to enter their mailbox name/pwd on the prompt on their first logon.

Don't know what clients are using to access the internet, but let's presume 95 or 98.
Also don't know if you have PDC or standalone so I'm presuming PDC or BDC.
You must setup the workgroup on the clients to be the same as the domain name and alsoyou'll need an lmhosts entry for your domain server with the #PRE and #DOM:"domain name" entries. Clients will have to be logging on to their machines with the same username/pass as on the NT server.
Once this info is passed accross, no prompt willbe needed.
