Exchange 2007, Outlook 2007 keeps asking for password
I'm very new to Exchange 2007. I've got a new network with Outlook 2007 clients. I added email accounts on each PC w/o any problem, however, after adding the email account and closing Outlook, I get prompted for a username/password whenever I open Outlook. While Outlook is open, it keeps asking me for the username/password. All the computers are Windows XP Pro and the server is Windows SBS 2008. All the computers are joined to the domain.
A little more background, currently I will not be hosting email with Exchange, just using it to store/share Outlook data. I'll be using POP accounts for the hosting.
From reading other posts, I'm guessing this is due to a problem with autodiscover, but I can't seem to isolate it. When I test autoconfiguration, I get a few errors along the following lines.
Autodiscover to https://sites/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml FAILED (0x80040413)
A lot of the advice I've read tells me to make changes to autodiscover in IIS under default websites. I don't have autodiscover listed there and am not sure if that's something I'm supposed to do manually w/ Exchange 2007 as it certainly did not get installed automatically.
Any advice?

That solution worked like a charm. Now can I have the 3 hours of my wasted time back?
