Hi,
The best way to check this stuff out is to use the Outlook Autodiscover test tool - from within Outlook use ctrl key whilst right clicking on the Outlook item in the systray - it works with JFW systray explorer. When in there you can test different ways that Outlook does Autodiscover including HTTP/S for Exchange.
However in summary you usually have to authenticate twice to the system if your machine is outside the domain or you use Office365, once to auth into the Autodiscover service itself and then you have to reply to an NTLM challenge prompt to auth into Exchange RPC.
Its been ages since I did this stuff but seem to remember this part as its not the best to get it right.
Andrew.

Hey Andrew,
Thanks so much, it worked!
My apologies,, I forgot to mention that I have a different domain set for the accepted domains in Exchange.
Just one more question please?
So I've successfully added the UPN suffix in AD, When I connect in outlook and add my email address and password and click next, outlook tries to authenticate but then comes back asking me to enter my credentials.
I have to click on more choices, in the username, I add my email address and password and then all goes through.
Would you perhaps know why I have to enter my credentials twice?
Your help would really be much appreciated.
Kind Regards

Hi,
You should be able to log in via just the username part, but the best idea is to set a UPN that is the same as your email domain and then create a UPN to match the username of the email address.
This is done automatically if you created your AD domain with the same domain as your email address, i.e, company.com, but if you used company.local you need to go through the steps of adding company.com as a trusted UPN in Active Directory and setting the users to use it.
Hope this steers you in the right direction, Andrew.

Hi Listers,
Sorry for the somewhat vague subject.
To those who have setup an on-premmiesis exchange server,
How do you go about having a user accessing mails via outlook logon just using their email address and password?
As it currently is, I have to connect using:
Domain\username followed by the password.
I'd like to authenticate with just the email address and password.
I've googled, but can only find a way to change it for OWA and not outlook or any other client.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards
