Well I installed SP2 and UR2 for it and ended up with endless password prompts 
which was a problem I never had!  After pulling my hair out for a while I 
eventually called PSS and after they pulled their hair out for a while we 
managed to resolve it.

The original problem still exists though.  If a Win 7 laptop that is connected 
to wired and wireless is removed from a dock, Outlook password prompts.  Doing 
the same thing on a Win XP laptop, doesn't prompt.

I'm now even more convinced that this is a Win 7 issue.

Fixed in 2007 sp1 ur8. :-P

Seriously. It was caused by an office security patch a couple months ago.

I have an issue with outlook that I'm finding a little difficult to 
troubleshoot.  Trying to search for ideas is like finding a needle in a 
haystack.

Infrastructure details:-

Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 clients.
Outlook 2007 SP2
Exchange 2007 SP1 with Update Rollup 7
Outlook Anywhere in use
ISA Server in the mix but for this issue it is all internal.

These clients are laptops connected to the network via wired and wireless (they 
are sitting on a dock) at the same time.  Outlook has been opened without any 
issues and has been in use.  If the user then undocks the laptop the following 
occurs:-

XP SP3 clients reconnect to the Exchange server and it's all pretty seamless.  
The user doesn't notice.
Windows 7 clients attempt to reconnect to the Exchange server but fails and 
then prompts the user for credentials.  Entering the creds just results in 
continuous password prompts.

If the user then closes and reopens Outlook on the Windows 7 client all is well.

Going the other way (from Wireless to Wired) there is no issue.

Any suggestions are more than welcome!!
