Hi;
I use w2k vpn client to access my employer network. When ever I launch outlook, it asks me for user name, PW, and domain name . I checked the box under security which says " Automatically use my windows logon name and PW (and domain if any), this did not help at all. Please help if you know how to stop the "Enter Password" box from poping up evry time I launch outlook...It happens only when I do VPN.

What credentials do you normally use to log-on?

By telling Outlook to "Automatically use my windows logon name and PW (and domain if any)" you are saying "Use the credentials I used to log-on to this Windows session to acces my employers network."

If the credentials you entered to log-on, are different than the credentials needed to access your employers network (all - user ID, password, and domain), you will get the separate log-on box every time.

Check your Outlook setup. Right click on the desktop icon and go to properties. Make sure that it is not set to "Prompt for a profile to be used" and is properly set for a preconfigured profile.

If it needs to be changed, then you will needto vpn into your company site and resetup your user profile in Outlook. Then check the "Always use this profile" and you should be fine.
