Outlook calendar prompts for reminder in wrong folder?

Running Outlook 2013 (15.0.4615.1000) cached mode with Exchange 2007 SP3 U13.
A user will create an appt on their Outlook Calendar then try to change the appt time by dragging the appt box. They will get the following -
Why is the user getting this prompt when it is their own calendar?
Thanks

Hi,
Is it the default calendar of the user's Exchange account?
Please first try to run the outlook.exe /cleanreminders command to check if this issue is caused by corrupt reminder. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook.exe /cleanreminders and press Enter.
If we are talking about a issue happened in archives and other pst files, please have a look at the following article:

Why does Outlook keep prompting for password

We have seen our community members ask questions about Outlook keeps prompting for credentials many times. This issue could be caused by numerous reasons. Below is a list of the most common reasons for this problem:
Outlook is configured to prompt you for credentials
Incorrect password cached in credential storage
Required Authentication Settings for outgoing server and incoming server
Outlook Anywhere is not configured to use NTLM Authentication
Corrupt Outlook profile
Slow or unstable network connection
Antivirus programs
Shared calendars
Outlook is configured to prompt you for credentials
If you are using an Exchange account, there is a setting in your Outlook profile to always prompt for logon credentials. To find the setting, please follow:
1. In Outlook 213, go to File tab > Info >
Account Settings > Account Settings…
2. Highlight your Exchange account and click Change button.
3. Click on More Settings button.
4. Select the Security tab.
5. Under the User Identification, make sure the “Always prompt for logon credentials” option is not selected.
If you are using other types of email, please make sure you have ticked the option “Remember password”.
Incorrect credential cached in Credential Manager
Your Windows system stores user credentials on your computer. If the cached credentials are incorrect, you will be prompted for password. This issue usually happens after the password for your domain user account is changed. Before your password changed,
you saved your credentials. The stored credentials are not overwritten when Outlook triggers the authentication prompt even if you enable the Remember my credentials option.
To fix this issue, you need to remove the corrupted credentials, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Credential Manager.
Note If View by is set to Category, click User Accounts first, and then click Credential Manager.
Locate the set of credentials that has Outlook in the name.
Click the name to expand the set of credentials, and then click Remove from Vault.
Repeat step 3 for any additional sets of credentials that have the word Outlook in the name.
Required Authentication Settings for outgoing server and incoming server
Different email provider may need different authentication settings. Please make sure you have set the server settings correctly. You can contact your email provider to gather the information.
In general, we select the “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication” option and the first bullet “Use same settings as my incoming mail server”.
In addition, click on the Advanced tab and check if you have enter the correct Server Port Number and select the correct encrypt type. Below is a screenshot for an IMAP account:
Outlook Anywhere is not configured to use NTLM Authentication
The Outlook Anywhere feature allows you to access your Exchange account remotely from the Internet when you are working outside your organization's firewall.
When using Outlook Anywhere to connect to your Exchange server, we need to choose
the authentication method among Basic Authentication, NTLM Authentication and Negotiate Authentication. The difference among them is the way that the passwords are sent when connecting to the server. With Basic Authentication,
the password is sent in clear text. Using NTLM Authenticationcan significantly reduce the number of password prompts.
To check the authentication setting, please go to File > Account Settings > Account Settings,
select the Exchange account, and then click
Change. In the Change Account wizard, click
More Settings, and then click the Connection tab. Click the Exchange Proxy Settings button and now, you can see the settings under
Proxy authentication settings. Try to change the authentication to
NTLM Authentication and then check the issue again.
Slow or unstable network connection
If your network connection is slow or unstable, Outlook may lose connection to the mail server. When Outlook try to reconnect, it will prompt for the credentials. To verify this, please switch to a stable network environment and then check if this issue
persists.
Corrupt Outlook Profile
Corrupt profile may cause Outlook to no longer remember your password. Please try to create a new mail profile in Control Panel and reconfigure your email account in the new profile to fix the issue. To create a new mail profile, you can refer:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918
Antivirus software
Antivirus software usually integrates into your Outlook and it may cause some conflicts. Try to temporarily turn off your antivirus software to check if the issue will be gone.
Shared Calendar
Shared calendars can impact the user credentials, this issue may also occur if you have shared calendars opened in Outlook. You can try to unselect the shared calendar to check the result. It’s recommended to not open the shared calendar unless you want
to view them.
If you have any comments, welcome to post in the forum. Thank you.

Nope...
I went through point by point by point, top to bottom, checking and verifying every single item as a possible cause for why my system (Outlook 2013 running on Windows 8.1 and connecting to Exchange 2010) insists on prompting me for my password every single
time I start Outlook. None of the solutions worked, my system still prompts me. I don't even have to supply a password. When the prompt dialog appears, I just cancel it. Within a few seconds, the bottom Outlook status bar changes to
"Need Password" with a key icon to the left. Then I just click on that message and immediately Outlook connects to Exchange.
The freaking software is BROKEN! Period.

Calendar prompt for Date variable from bex

Hi All,
I have a Bex query where I have a variable on 0CALDAY
- Customer exit (i_step = 1 to populate with current date)
- Single value
- Mandatory
I created universe on this query and in webI selection screen i do see the variable prompt.
I am not able to see the current date populated automatically since exit values are not populated to WebI at runtime.
My problem is that in WebI selection screen we get list of date values from the info provider instead of Calendar prompt
where user can enter the values directly.
I am currently on BO XI 3.1 SP3.
Is there any specific setting in Universe or bex query which is required to get this Calendar prompt instead of list of values for dates?
Note: When we were on SP1 the universe created then had same variable from bex and it still shows us Calendar prompt but ever since we upgraded to SP3 for the query splitter functionality we not able to get the calendar prompt for date variable in new universe we create
Thanks
Ritesh

Yep.
Now tell me how you want to show that Prompt @ WebI report level.
My problem is that in WebI selection screen we get list of date values from the info provider instead of Calendar prompt
where user can enter the values directly. Exactly, i didn't get this??
@Prompt:
You have flexibility to show options like:
Mono/Multi: User can select Single value or Multiple.
BW Variable: Same we have (Single/Multiple)
Free/Constrained: User can Enter his/her value directly or No change option.
BW Variable: By defalut you will get this, once you made it to Optional input.
Persistent/Not_Persistent: Refreshed report has to show last selected value means use Persistent otherwise Not_P.
By seeing the Prompt syntax , I can say your Variable is after Customer Exit, Correct??
Workaround for your Problem is:
<FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A','Date\LovDate (Previous Day)Base',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
You have to remove that Date class and objects from prompt syntax. Because of that it showing up LOV's not calendar.
Like:
<FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A',',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
Why, It should be blank??
Because Date needs no class\object to show up, by default you will get Calendar on the fly.
Hope you got my point.
Thank You!!

Micrsoft Outlook somtimes prompting for username and password

hello All ,
I Have Exchange 2010 sp3 installed two mailbox servers & two HUB & CAS Servers and Outlook sometimes prompting for username and password .
how can fix it .
Thank you

Hi,
Please check the following points:
1. Does the issue happen to your external users or internal users?
2. For all users or some specific users?
If the issue happens to internal users, please configure the authentication in Outlook Security tab with Negotiate Authentication to have a try.

Internally installed Outlook 2010 prompts for password using external smtp email as user id

Hi,
After exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 migration all internally connected outlooks 2010 (xp, vista, win7, win8) prompt for password using external email user address as user id.
Below some of my settings and informations.
Internal domain: contoso.local
External domain: contoso.com
Exchange is NOT published to Internet at all.
Internally OWA, ECP runs OK.
Test-OutlookWebservices with user.name(at)contoso.local or contoso\user.name - runs OK
Test-OutlookWebservices with user.name(at)contoso.com - fails
Common scenario - (all happens internally):
1.User starts Outlook
2.Outlook prompts for password with default user.name(at)contoso.com as id
- while user tries to authenticate using his domain password - outlook re-prompts
- while user changes id from user.name(at)contoso.com to user.name(at)contoso.local or contoso\user.name and authenticates - Outlook connets to exchange and till next Outlook it runs ok.
I am bus with that issue since 1 week and I am already bit tired. I was looking for answer via gogle/bing and went through tons of "Outlook perpetually prompts for password" threads and blogs. No success.
Do you have any clue where else start to play with that?

Hi,
Thank you for answer - no luck
>NExt og to Connection tab - Exchange Proxy settings - Proxy authentication settings - is it set
>to NTLM or Basic?Give it a try on one of them.(if set to NTLM change to basic and vise versa).
On both settings the same results - Outlook is prompting for password.
>Another thing you could try is og to Internet Explorer - tool -internet options- Security - click local
>intranet - >custom Level and scroll Down to bottom and put check mark on automaticly logon
>With current username >and password.
>Do this on Trusted sites as well,if Your domain is listed under trusted sites
The same results - Outlook isprompting for password.
Should not be some kind of mapping set somehow in AD between user.name(at)contoso.com and user.name(at)contoso.local?
I have impresion that issue is somewhere in the fact that outlook is trying to connect using contoso.com instead of contoso.local in ntlm credentials.

Outlook Password prompt for Linked Mailboxes from certain Domain

Hello,
As part of a migration project, I'm trying to connect Outlook with Linked Mailboxes from users in a trusted domain.
I'm able to create the linked mailbox on the Exchange 2013 (CU7) server without any issue, but when I try to configure Outlook for these mailboxes, it is prompting for credentials permanently and won't start. Log on to OWA with the same user from the trusted
domain is working fine.
I'm able to configure Linked mailboxes from another trusted domain without any problems.
I've already recreated the trust between these two domains (validation tells everything is ok)
DNS is configured with conditional forwarders in both domains and name resolution looks ok to me (ping and nslookup)
When I look at the LinkedMasterAccount of the mailboxes from this domain, I can see that there is only the SID (S-1-5-21-4033829......). The other linked mailboxes (from the other domain where it's working) are showing the Account name (domain\user)
Internal and External ClientAuthenticationMethod of OutlookAnywhere is set to NTLM
Infos:
DomainA: Domainlevel 2012 - Exchange 2013 - Forest trust to Domain B and C
DomainB: Domainlevel 2008 - Exchange 2010 - Forest trust to Domain A - Outlook for linked Mailboxes of DomainA works fine
DomainC: Domainlevel 2008 - Forest trust to Domain A --> can't connect Outlook to LinkedMailboxes of this domain.
Is there anything else I can check?

Hi,
Please check whether the server is configured to only accept NTLM version 2 and reject NTLM and LM, and the Outlook client computer is not configured with the same LAN Mananger authentication level.
Check DC, Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Security Options -> Note the LAN Manager authentication level.
Check DC's policies, Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> expand Security Settings\Local Policies -> Security Options -> Note the Lan Manager authentication level.
IMPORTANT： You may also have to check policies that are linked at the site/domain/organizational unit levels to determine where the LAN Manager authentication level must be configured. Configure the LAN Manager authentication level to "Send
NTLMv2 response only". If you want to implement NTLM version 2 in your network, make sure that all computers in the domain are set to use this authentication level.

Outlook Anywhere Prompts for Credentials only for Outlook 2010, not Outlook 2013

I'm having a heck of a time with this one. We have Exchange 2010 on premise, with our filtering through EOP. Clients that are using Outlook 2010 Professional Plus are continuously getting prompted for credentials when off network and relying
on Outlook Anywhere.
I've read many threads about configuring credential manager appropriately for the internal domain and our external domain. I can get them to authenticate just fine, and email flows, but they continue to be prompted everytime they connect again.
Here is the kicker: When I install Outlook 2013 on the same computer, outlook anywhere functions just fine, no problems, no authentication prompt.
Like I said I have read a plethera of articles and threads about this, I have gone through all settings on Exchange, our edge server, our firewall, our certificate. The MSSTD string matches our "Issued To" string. NTLM authentication
is configured on both the client and the server. Appropriate settings are configured on the firewalls.
Anyone know why Outlook 2010 would have this problem, but not Outlook 2013 on the same computer, same user, same mailbox database?
Thanks in advance!!!

I'd still Echo Ed's original question.
Do you have Outlook 2010 patched up? At this time you need to be on SP1, and SP2 by October the 14th.
Also I expect you to have a recent update ontop of that as well.

Outlook 2010 prompting for password each login to Exchange 2013

We have a new member server w/ Windows Server 2012 and Exchange 2013. User's mailboxes were migrated from an old Windows Server 2003 server w/ Exchange 2003 by creating new empty mailboxes in Exchange 2013 then we exported/imported
.pst files instead of migrating exchange stores. Every time any users opens Outlook, they are being prompted to log in with domain credentials. Obviously I'm clicking on "Remember my password", too. The workstations are all
using Outlook 2010 and on a mix of Windows XP SP3, Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 (terminal server with Outlook 2010 installed for remote users). Some users were using Outlook 2010 prior to the migration to Exchange 2013 and some were on Outlook
2007 but upgraded to Outlook 2010. I'm almost to the point of telling the users it's a new "feature" of Exchange 2013. I'm confident that it's not stored passwords or credentials on the workstations, I've removed, deleted, created and
recreated those credentials. I've changed domain passwords and that didn't help either. Any hints, tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
These settings can be found under your Outlook profile, "More Settings > Connection > Exchange Proxy Settings."
If you have Outlook Anywhere enabled, then you should force all Outlook clients to use HTTP when connecting. Ensure you have "On fast networks, connect using HTTP..." AND "On slow networks, connect using HTTP...". If you
don't, anytime you dock, undock, get a new IP address, refresh your IP address, go to sleep, idle, anything that causes your IP stack wants to renegotiate connective will cause a password prompt to appear, EVERYTIME.

Outlook 2010 prompting for password

Hi everybody. I ran into an issue yesterday morning where at one of our sites Outlook 2010 has started prompting for a username and password. If the user types in their username as "MYDOMAIN\myuser" and their password, it lets them in but the Exchange
status shows as "Disconnected". If the user sets their username to just "myuser" without the domain on the front it lets them in and works as expected until they close Outlook, at which point they have to enter their credentials again.
The strangest thing about this is that it's only affecting one of our sites and only Outlook 2010. Users running 2007 and 2003 do not have the problem and only users at this physical location have the problem. Does anybody know where I can look? I have tried
clearing stored credentials, created new Outlook profiles and reset passwords. None of these things seem to have had any effect.

After changing a ton of outlook settings, deleting the user's account profile on outlook, deleting their domain profile from the effected computer, trying to fix the registry, deleting stored credentials, etc.... almost everything else I found something
that FINALLY worked for me after over a year and about 12 different users being effected.
in the past I would just give up after much frustration and upgrade them to Office 2013 but that gets very expensive especially when I have 57 other users that could potentially run into the same issue.
Here is what I did.
- back up the user's data. log out and log into local admin
- delete the user from the local registry
- repair Office 2010 through control panel/programs, restart
- have user log back in with their credentials to make new local profile. recover their backed up documents. log out and log back in as local admin.
- install hotfix KB2597011
- restart computer
- install hotfix KB2583935
-restart computer
- log in, open outlook and setup user's account.
Some of these steps may be skipped as I didn't find the hot-fixes until after I repaired office, however I am just providing what I did in the process to end up with a working outlook again.
Some things unique to my situation that may or may not help.
- I noticed some of the computers have Office2010 32bit installed on 64 bit machines.
- Some of the users were swapped over using a profile mover program when we moved to a domain environment.
- For me this always happens when the user's passwords expire and they have to log in to the portal to change it. Then outlook starts with the repeated prompt for passwords. It is always computer specific and nothing but what I provided above has worked
other than re installing windows 7 and then office or upgrading to office 2013.

Outlook keeps prompting for password

This is a weird situation. User logs in to domain without issues and is able to access outlook. However, during the middle of the day, outlook keeps prompting user for authentication or password.
Profile has been re-created. ESSO cache was cleared, but still the same thing. Created separate email profile for other email accounts she access, but same issue still occurs.
Has anyone seen this issue and what resolution have you used.

Truly I don't mean to disparage your comment/proposed answer, but in today's day and age one should really never, ever use "Remember my Password" for any context. This means web forms even on trusted sites and/or when the windows subsystem
is called to prompt you for your Windows Password.
This is a very bad practice for two reasons:
The first is due to Heartbleed and/or the like-wise thousands of malware that are constantly attempting to hijack your username/password entry. Please understand that when you ask systems to remember your password what is happening on the backend.
That password is being saved somewhere, or a cookie is being set. The only "safe" way to remember your password is in your head.
The second is due to account lockouts. If you routinely use "Remember my Password", especially across several computers (home, work) and devices (ActiveSync on iPhone/iPad, etc.) then you are a prime candidate for getting a locked out domain account.
We, in IT, won't like you very much after that :) Please understand that when you choose that option, those features do not remember to update all those places you have saved when you reset your password (every 90, 120 days, whatever your organization's
password policy dictates). As soon as you do, you will begin to lock out all sorts of applications and/or your domain account.
As I said above, the only "safe" place for you to store your password is in your brain. Now this gets difficult over time because you also don't want to use the same password over and over again for different places. Because when you
do get compromised (and I do mean when, not "if") that hacker will not only have your password, but also will know where all you have used it. And the first place they will go is your online Bank, Savings, online stock, etc... If
you don't routinely rotate your passwords, and use different ones then you may just as well hand over the keys to your house.
Use a format like "for every letter O, I will use a zero", "I will use a 3 for the letter E" or "instead of the letter S, I will use a 5", then pick something only you would remember, like "that trip to Puerto Rico
was memorable"... so your new password would be Pu3rt0 5ic0. Throwing in a space helps combat robot hacking. Now this is slightly bad too though because they are dictionary or common words. Then keep on that theme and think up a few
more passwords that you will remember, AirPlan3 Tix, 5andy B3ach3s! <-- and if/when they require special chars, throw a "bang" or "exclamation mark" on there.
If this seems a huge imposition (my gut would tell you to get over it, but in IT, hey we try to help too!) ask your Systems Admins/Architects to implement a Federation provider (like OKTA or OneLogin, or ADFS - probably least preferable). Then they
can setup the multitude of hosted service providers (think "cloud applications" though I hate that word) for either SAML based Single Sign On, or leverage that service's proprietary "Password Safe" aka "Secure Web Authentication".
Or lastly, for yourself you can go download KeePass. This is a "wallet" style application that you can lock away all your passwords; though you will need to remember to update them in KeePass as you then may reset them. Single Sign On
is always more preferential because they will typically use your Domain credentials (i.e., Kerberos authentication local to your Org's domain) as part of the solution.

Outlook 2010 prompts for profile when 3rd party application tries to send mail

Hi,
I have been having an issue with Outlook 2010 and our in-house MIS system. The system uses Outlook to send mail out, and it works perfectly fine if Outlook is running at the time.
There is a problem though when Outlook is not running and the programs calls Outlook to send the mail, Outlook will display the "Choose Profile" dialog. Outlook basically launches in the background with the little gear icon in the system tray.
Is there any way to get rid of the select profile screen? Everything is already selected appropriately under Control Panel>Mail, Outlook does not prompt for profile when launched normally.
Thanks

It all depends on the code you are using to initiate Outlook.
It might be better to ask this in the developer forum down the hall:

Outlook suddenly prompts for password / Exchange 2013

I just checked the internal DNS and the autodiscover record did not exist so I created it. The old server records were removed.I don't know if adding the record to internal DNS will solve the problem because all the clients are external.I also forgot to mention one more thing that I don't think its causing any problems but I have an additional accepted domain, so mydomain.org as the main one and mydomain.com as accepted too.So for autodiscover on the second domain I'm using redirect from autodiscover.mydomain.com to autodiscover.mydomain.orgSo for my internal DNS I have:autodiscover.mydomain.org - internal ipmail.mydomain.org - internal ipand for the External DNS I have:autodiscover.mydomain.org - public ipmail.mydomain.org - public ipautodiscover.mydomain.com - public secondary ipI will check if after doing this change on the DNS...

Hello everyone,I've upgraded an Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 but problems started when the Exchange 2010 was removed from the co-existence.The desktop clients suddenly disconnect from the server and prompt for the user credentials, some times if the user provides the credentials right away it fails, but if the user waits about 1 minute, it accepts it. This is happening with outlook 2010, outlook 2013, outlook 2011 for mac and even the new outlook 2016 (provided with office 365) and for some users is more frequent than for others.ActiveSync and OWA works fine, so this is an Outlook Anywhere issue, I've checked all settings that I think could be the reason but no luck so far.Something that I noticed with the TestExchangeConnectivity is that when I do the Outlook Connectivity test if I use manual server settings it works and look like...

Send for Review gives wrong folder permissions

As per
my
last post , it looks like when a page is "Sent for Review" that
the folder created by Contribute is not getting the proper
permissions on my server. I have all of my folders set to be 775
and to inherit permissions from the parent folder, but it's getting
RWX for the owner, RX for the group and nothing for everyone. I
don't mind the everyone part, but the group needs full permissions.
Does anyone have an idea as to why Contribute would act this
way? I'm on a Mac OS X 10.4.10 server running Apache, if it helps.

Bumped because this is becoming a real problem...I have a
plist on my mac now that will update the permissions on my whole
web folder so that it is owned and grouped to WWW and permissions
are correct, but I still get the error when a document going for
review is published.
One of the main reasons we decided to use Contribute was so
that we can use this particular function, and it's not working. Can
anyone please help with this?
