Hi,
We have migrated one of our Exchange Mailboxes to our Office 365 Environment, we have had all the relevant DNS entries put in place, so when the user logs on and opens Outlook 2013, the Wizard picks up there Office 365 Mailbox and configures, it asks you for User Credentials, and you type them in and select remember and then Outlook open fine with all the emails presented,
THE PROBLEM: After this user logs off and logs back on to either the same computer or another computer, and they open Outlook, you are yet again asked for your Credentials again, it remembers the username and not the password, once you enter the password and click remember password it opens Outlook fine
Looking in Credential Manager, I can see that after selecting Remember Credentials, it is putting an entry in Generic Credentials, however when you log off and on again these disappear, I have added Manual Entries in Credential Manager and these are saving!
I have noticed that in %USER%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Credentials when you open Outlook and select remember password, it is adding a system file in here, so I decided to try copy the file to %USER%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Credentials, when I log off this is writing back to the server, and when I log back on it is downloading, HOWEVER when I open Outlook, it still asks for the password! And when I type it in and select remember, it adds the system file back in %USER%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Credentials, and ignores the Roaming one,
So currently I am using a Logoff and Logon Script to copy these Files too and from the relative folders and this works, however it is not ideal
The Script:
LOGOFF'Test
xcopy %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Credentials %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Credentials\ /H /Y
rmdir I:\MSCRM /S /Q
xcopy %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\MSCRM I:\MSCRM /H /Y /I /E
LOGON
xcopy %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Credentials %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Credentials\ /H /Y
xcopy I:\MSCRM %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\MSCRM /H /Y /I /E
MY QUESTION:
So I guess my question is how can you get Outlook to look at the %USER%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Credentials instead of the Local one?
Regards
Andy
