Thanks. That makes sense. I was never sure why it didn't do that when I was using Exchange 2010. Unless it was supposed to and I went for years with something misconfigured.

I'm not as experienced with 2010 but I believe it should have used the domain credentials in the same way. That being said I've see systems connected to Exchange 2010 where it was a battle to get Outlook to do that properly so it doesn't surprise me that much.

Seems like a simple question, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer.<br />

We had an Exchange 2010 running on Windows Server 2008, accessed by domain computers using Office 2013. When the computer was on the LAN, users would launch Outlook with no prompt for user name or password. As it should be. When off the LAN, such as at home, etc., they could launch Outlook and it would prompt them for the password. Once the credentials were verified, Outlook Anywhere would tunnel to the Exchange server and work just as though they were on the LAN.<br />
<br />
We just upgraded to Exchange 2013 running on Windows Server 2012. Same domain computers with Office 2013. However, initial tests from off the network show that Outlook will launch without prompting for a password. I'm assuming it's just using the domain account credentials used to log into the laptop in the first place, just as though it were on the LAN.<br />
<br />
Is this normal? Was this a change, or was one of my instances not working as it should be?

Should Outlook Anywhere prompt for password or not?

Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager from Microsoft, available as a part of the Microsoft Office suite. Although often used mainly as an email application, it also includes a calendar, task manager, contact manager, note-taker, journal, and web browser.

Outlook

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
