How to eliminate Outlook 2007 client password request when rebooting Exchange 2007 server?
When troubleshooting my Exchange 2007 server recently (O/S: Windows Server 2003 64 bit), I need to reboot it. Each Outlook 2007 client has a local copy of their mailbox, so they can continue working in the program. Every time I reboot the server, each of the clients gets a password request in a pop-up window. I'd like to stop that from happening. I'm hoping for a server-side solution, as it would be very inconvenient to modify each client computer.

The issue comes from the server disconnecting each session and the users then need to authenticate again in order to access their mailbox. This will happend each time the client access role is restarted.

Thanks.
If memory serves me, my old version of Exchange (2000?) did not give the clients that logon/password window when I rebooted the server.
Is my memory wrong?
More importantly, there is no way to stop this logon/password window from appearing on the client pc's when I reboot the Exchange server?

Thanks for the detailed response. I've been hit with a minor IT emergency this week. It seems that there's no way around this. I believe we have your basic LAN connection of TCP/IP. I will analyze your points ASAP next week.
