Outlook 2007 constantly asking for password on open - OWA

I have a client with 2 pc's, XP Pro and Vista, both using Microsoft Office 2007.

The client has a contract with his ISP for remote Mail (Telstra Business Mail Advanced) - which are essentially Microsoft Exchange mailboxes.

The server requires RPC over HTTPS enabled (OWA).

Every time the user opens Outlook, after a reboot, after closing it 5 seconds ago, whatever - Outlook asks for the password every time it opens - even when Remember my password is selected.

Both PC's have this issue.

I got no idea how to fix this I've tried everything!

Help?

I couldn't try that solution because I cannot get that information from the Exchange servers, they are managed by the ISP.

Is there any other way?

When it prompts for the password, it's asking on behalf of the "SYD001TEBCLV2.me1.server-secure.com" server, where as the name I put in as the server when creating the account is "mail.pm.telstra.com"

Both of these have passwords stored in the "Stored username and passwords"

You don't need to check the server side information, just check the client's Outlook configuration. If you are NOT using NTLM, then you cannot save the passwords.

have to agree with Raj-GT, If you are NOT using NTLM, then you cannot save the passwords.

I know that, NTLM is selected, read the question again "Outlook asks for the password every time it opens - even when Remember my password is selected."

Can you upload a screenshot of the outlook anywhere config options please?

The first pic "Prompt 1" is the box that displays when Outlook is opened.
The username is the user's Email address, when the password is put in, Outlook runs as normal.

"Config 1"
Originally, "mail.pm.telstra.com" was put in the server name, but resolved to whats there now.

I've tried all that already, except I cannot determine what the "DOMAIN\" is, so I continued to use user@emaildomain.com.au
