Is there any way I can force outlook to ask for username password with group policy?

I have the Outlook 2013 template installed on a 2012 R2 DC.?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark,

If you are using Basic authentication, Outlook will prompt for username and password while attempting a connection with Exchange.

To configure it, we can run the following command to set Outlook Anywhere in Exchange server:

Set-OutlookAnywhere -Identity "Exch13\Rpc (Default Web Site)" -InternalClientAuthenticationMethod Basic -ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod Basic -ExternalClientsRequireSsl $True -InternalClientsRequireSsl $true

Then restart IIS service by running IISReset in server to have a try.

If you want force password prompt from Outlook side by using Group Policy instead of using Exchange, please try AndyNolans suggestion. If it doesnt work, I suggest we can ask a question in Outlook forum for more help:
