exchange 2010 and outlook 2010 outlook anywhere will not accept user credentials
I have a problem connecting outlook 2010 to exchange 2010 via outlook anywhere, on a computer not connected to the domain (running windows 7 home premium).
I have a certificate generated by local CA, which I know is not ideal.
BUT, the confusing part is, I have 1 machine working with this setup, but I cannot get any other machine to work - I am comparing every setting and I cannot see why one machine is working and not the other - everything SEEMS identical.
Can someone help?

Are the network settings the same on the machine that works and those that aren't, may be a name resolution issue so just wondering on the DNS servers information.
Hi Davids,
Run the testexchangeconnectivity tests as suggested by takecoffee and this may give some hints.
Are the non-domain members located internally (on the LAN) or remotely?
It sounds like DNS might be the problem.

I havent run the connectivity test yet, I will run that in the morning.
Both computers are in our office (Not the clients network), both connected to the same lan, both win 7 home premium, both outlook 2010.
All settings seem identical, the only thing I can think that I may have done diffrently is the original procedure for installing certificates on the client machines.
I guess the correct way will be to get a proper certificate, but its really bugging me why this wont work.
I will try the connectivity test in the morning and report back.

james, the non domain members are located outside of the lan.
I have tried going in and removing all certificates related to the server, then re-adding.
the exchange connectivity test works, but only if I tick the box that says, ignore trust for SSL.
Sembee, we can purchase a certificate, but I really want to get to the bottom of it, mainly because I have one computer working, so it must be possible.

sorted now guys - I started from scratch, then just installed the CA certificate on the client under trusted root certification authorities.
then re-configured outlook anywhere and made sure to change authentication to basic (because they are non domain members).
this seemed to solve it.
I think I had just tried so many things I got confused with what I had and hadn't done.
thanks for the help.
