    Hi Venu,

    Thanks for your update.

    Does  the user you mentioned have migrated from BPOS?

    If so, please try the following steps to see if the issue will persist:

    1.Navigate to this folder in Windows Explorer(the %userprofile% text will be replaced by Windows automatically with   the correct path):

    %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Sign In\Config\

    2.Go into the subfolder that's named after the Outlook email address.

    In that folder, rename or delete these two files:

    ConfigurationParameters.xml
    outlook-autodiscovery.xml

    3.Close (if open still) Outlook and then reopen it, and go to Tools menu (Outlook 2007) or File menu (Outlook 2010)   and click Account Settings. When viewing the account (should only be one), click the Repair button just above the   account list. Click Next to go through the wizard which should be successful all the way through, then close out   of the settings, restart Outlook and the password prompts should be gone.

    Thanks,

  • Hi Venu,

    I understand that you have solved this issue by creating a new profile, and you want to get some data in old profile.
    If you setup your account in new profile, you can download all data from exchange server side. You don’t need to get your old data from previous profile.
    If you want to solve this issue, please describe your current situation in detail, because different causes may lead same issue.

    Thanks,

  • Hi Rob,

    My current sutuation is described below:

    Whenever the user logs in, it asks for RED001 password, though the Cname, MX are correctly pointing to MS Cloud 365. The problem is that I was going through these blogs and I managed to check in the registry settings to remove the left over entries, I couldn't find any left over entries in Regedit. So I removed all the entries in Office 12.0 Autodiscover subkey.

    Thank I removed the Single Sign in tool from the control Panel, still no go...when the outlook is launched, it opens up perfectly but the RED001 nusiance is still there.

    Finally, I thought of creating a new windows profile to isolate the issue. I created a new Windows Profile and configured Outlook for a new user, Autodiscover did not work ,so I manually configured Outlook. Which seems to be working fine.

    My findings would be that there is something which is causing for the old user, as it is repeatedly prompting for the password. Suggest me, if I remove the profile after taking some back up or what could be done without having to remove the old profile of the user.

    I am in the marathon of finding a solution to this stupid issue, I suspect that there could be some left over entry pointing in the local DNS. Please let me know a clear picture of the possible error or the root cause.

    i would appreciate you for your suggestions/solutions that would help me to fix the issue for the user. Since, the user is a VIP user and we couldn't remove the profile as it is. We need to check with you guys.

    Thanks for your help.
