password access from Outlook to Exchange for just two users

At a certain small office most users don't have to enter passwords to access exchange from their outlook. Its controlled by their windows login. But two of the users wish to have to enter a different password in order to access exchange. The rest are happy with the way it is. How do I do that? Exchange Server 2010.

Outlook can only use the AD domain for authentication.
Therefore the only way you can do it is to have two accounts - one for Windows login and one for email. The Windows login would not have any permissions on the email account, so they have to login to it.

HI

if you are using outlook anywhere you can set it to connect via slow and fast networks and that will ask for there login and passwords all the time.  

other then that Simon would be correct.
It will only prompt for a password if you use basic authentication. If you use integrated authentication then it will not.
Furthermore, Autodiscover will remove the entry to use Outlook Anywhere on fast connections.

Simon.
You can create a separate mailbox with a different password, and then create a new Outlook profile for this new mailbox on the two users' machines. As their account won't have access to these new mailboxes by default they'll be prompted for credentials when they open Outlook.

You can then look at importing their emails and email addresses to this separate mailbox.

Here's what I did which was not that great. I checked the "Always prompt for Login Credentials" in the outlook security tab for the account. Then, I had to change the username to the windows username domain\user in order to connect from outlook. This still lets me see the already received mail if I can't connect so it isn't that great, but the users can't then get any more email that hasn't been received yet.

Yes, it is sort of an internal politics sort of thing. As long as the users are part of the organization, management wants to give them some privacy or at least a feeling of privacy. If they leave, management wants to be able to read their emails.
