Migrated Exchange 2007 to 2013 Outlook wont accept passwords
I have migrated all mailboxes and everything to exchange 2013. OWA works fine with the credentials. Outlook keeps on asking for credentials, and wont accept them even tho they are correct...

Is all your autodiscover information updated? Are the mailboxes in Outlook showing that they are trying to connect to the 2007 side or the 2013 side? Also how did you perform the migration from 2007 to 2013?

Hi,

Have you executed above steps on outlook side?

I have noticed your certificates are self-signed cert.

what is your outlook version?

Microsoft released the patch to solve outlook connectivity issue when mailbox moved to exchange 2013.

To resolve this issue, please apply the latest Outlook update:

For more detailed information, please refer to official article:

  1. Can you access everything in Outlook without issues (most concerned about Public Folders)
  2. What's your Outlook Anywhere Config look like? (Get-OutlookAnywhere | fl server, *auth*, *SSL*
  3. let's look at your autodiscover config.  (Get-ClientAccessServer | fl name, *auto*
  4. What CU are running Exchange on?

Can you provide the screenshot of outlook connection status?

I want to view the failed connection status for further analysis.

In addition,I have found a similar thread for your reference:

I discovered a weird thing:

I manually added exchange mailbox by connecting to my 2007 CAS, it picks up my Exchange 2013 MBOX Server as the exchange servers and works well. I am starting to go crazy here. On Exchange CAS 2013. I tried all kinds of settings for Autodiscover and MAPI. Nothing worked.

Hi,

I beleive the password prompt must be for the Public Folder homed at legacy Server as others have mentioned it. I have seen such instances and we will get password prompt and when you hit cancel, it would work normally but would prompt again later.

To over come this permanently, you would need to get rid of the public folders from the 2007 server.

Else as a temporary fix, you can check to set the attribute: msexchhomepublicmdb to NOT SET on the Mailbox Database on the Exchange 2013 Server where the user mailbox is homed at.

To navigate to it, open ADSIEDIT -->> Configuration Partition --> Drill down to the Exchange Mailbox Database and go to the properties.

Let me know if it helps.

Reason:
There is an RPC call to the 2007 Mailbox Server for the Public Folders from the Exchange 2013 users, which 2007 Server will deem it to be unauthenticated. Hence a Trusted Subsystem like another Exchange Server has to requet the data on behalf of the user.

Hence there is another workaround/fix: You would need to enable the Outlook anywhere in Exchange 2007 Server and set the URLs to Exchange 2013 Server.

Set the internalclientauthentication method to NTLM.

Let me know if this helps,

Karthick

This is what I think you should do... Coexistence really isn't configured the best here.  I would do the following in a Maintenance Window:

  1. Enable Outlook Anywhere on the Exchange 2007 Servers
  2. Exchange 2013 can proxy Outook Anywhere and EAS to Exchange 2007 (OWA is a redirect) so I would set the OutlookAnywhere Address to your Exchange 2013 namespace.
  3. Set the AutodiscoverInternalServiceURi on the Exchange 2007 servers to the same URL as the Exchange 2013 Servers and make sure this resolves to Exchange 2013.  We want Exchange 2013 to service ALL autodiscover requests for either server.
  4. Cycle IIS.

Guys,

Bad news: I started getting the login prompt again. This time it takes the password, and outlook continues to work. But its getting very frustrating for my users to have to enter the password.
