Outlook 2007 keeps asking for username/password

Hi,
After a reboot of the SBS 2008 server, this startet to happen at the clients. They log on to the domain, open Outlook and are asked for credentials. They have to enter this several times before it's accepted.
OWA is working normally with SSL certificate. I also notice that when I set up an email account in Outlook 2007 it's also asking for username/password when it searches for the server. This has been working fine earlier. Is this something to do with the SSL certificate? I see that when I'm asked for credentials, the mail.domain.com is displayed as servername, not the FQDN for the server.
Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!

You need to either ask whoever it is that controls your external DNS to setup an A record for autodiscover.domain.com to point to the external IP address of your router (same as the OWA one)
or setup an internal zone on your DNS for your external domain name and enter an A record for autodiscover into their and point it to the internal IP address of your exchange server.

Hi,
Thanks for reply. I have an internal zone on my DNS for my external domain, domain.com, into this I have a autodiscover.domain.com pointing to the exchange server. Still I get asked for username and password..
Also, if I use the command Get-AutoDiscoverVirtualDirectory, I get the mail.domain.com as the internal URL..Should there be an external URL here as well?
If you ping mail.domain.com from a client what do you get?
You
may have to clear the DNS resolver by running ipconfig /flushdns

I am having the same issue.

Is there an easy way to see what rollup update has been installed by a version number? or just go into WSUS to see what has been applied? Or into Add/Remove Programs?
Check under Windows Update and select "View Update History"
