I have recently migrated our current E-mail from Microsoft Mail to Exchange 2000. On the client side they used to have the option to set-up the e-mail so it would prompt them for a password when opening outlook .With exchange when opening outlook it logs right in.Does anybody know how to set up outlook so the user receives a prompt for a password??
Help!

The behavior you are seeing is by design. Exchange 2000 mailboxes are tied to user's Active Directory accounts. It uses the userID and password for the user's account to authorize access to the Exchange mailbox.

This answer assumes you have configured Outlook to access a Microsoft Exchange Server (vs. Internet Email).

In Outlook, go to the Tools menu and choose Services. Open Properties for Microsoft Exchange Server and go to the Advanced tab. Change the option for "Logon network security:" to "None." Click Apply.

This will cause the user to have to reenter their network logon credentials in order to open Outlook. You cannot apply a different password.

Is this the only option? When I do this the user is forced to enter His user name,password, and domain every time they want to log into e-mail. Can I have it just ask for the password??
