RPC does not save passwords

J

I have several clients setup using RPC over HTTP and most work like they
should. Most clients are remote users whose pc's have never been joined to a
domain and they do not have a login for their pc's. All remote clients are XP
Pro SP2 and all latest updates.

When opening outlook, the save password box shows up, but never saves the
password. I have a couple remote clients that can save the password and are
never prompted, but most prompt every time.

I have gone into Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Password Management. I
added an entry with the public name of the mail server and supplied the
domain userid/password, however this did not help. Lmcompatability setting in
the registry is set to 0, same on all computers across the board. All sites
the users are connecting from have the same firewall in place. Since some
users work and others do not, I tend to rule out the firewall.

The only other thing I can think of is, when the password prompt shows up,
the login server is displayed as servername.domain.com, just like I entered
it in the setup of the mail account. Can I change the account profile setup
and specify the public name of the mail server (ie mail.doamin.com) for the
exchange server? Will a setup like this allow outlook to connect and solve
the password problem?

Any other thoughts/ideas about how to get XP Pro clients not in the domain
or who login with domain credentials to not be prompted when opening Outlook?
