Windows 7 Enterprise - OWA 2007 username/password prompt for Power Users reading email
Stumped with this one, perhaps someone can help. Here is the environment: Client - Windows 7 Enterprise (IE8 obviously), current patches, Office 2007 - current service packs/patches System - Exchange 2007 OWA Problem: When a domain user logs in, who has "Power user" membership to the local Windows 7 client, opens IE for OWA access - when they read an email, instead of pulling up the message, they are prompted for their username and password again. When they put that in, they can read their email. -when we put the user in the Local Administrators or User/Standard user groups for Windows 7, the problem goes away. ************************** This appears to be a Windows 7 bug - any ideas? We have no idea how to resolve this. I apologize in advance if this should be somewhere else.

Hi, I have the same Problem. I can turn on/off this Issue by add or Remove the Power User Rights. Also when a User open a Attachment in OWA he is prompt for Username and Password. We use Excahnge 2007 OWA too. Client Win7 x32 and x64 Sorry for my bad english Update: with network operator rights you become the same issue. This is a Big Problem for Exampel Open VPN Clients.

I have the same problem. It amazes me just how bad Windows 7 and Internet explorer can be. Why doesn't microsoft fix this stuff? So typical.
