[QUOTE="Blackhole128, post: 1638668, member: 342884"] Hi CHSCAG - thanks for taking the time to reply. My UK version of Office 2011 just goes straight in to the installation of all the product suite including the Outlook 2011 trial version. I used the Microsoft recommended clean-up and Outlook installed and worked perfectly again right up until the point when I got brave and tried the Office installation once more after which it was permanently asking for username & password when the server rejected the connection. Throughout this, Apple Mail has had no problems connecting to the Exchange Server so the issue definitely points towards the Microsoft installations. Here's a bullet point list of my situation: * First, Apple Mail works fine and is connecting to Exchange beautifully with no interruptions or issues I can see. This indicates that it's probably not an Exchange Server issue or a network issue. * My Windows PC connects to the Exchange Server reliably on the same network, so no apparent network problems. * Outlook 2011 connects to Exchange Server and works fine after a full removal of Office files and clean installation. * Installing Office 2011 H&S breaks my Outlook connection settings PERMANENTLY causing the prompt for username & password to appear every time Outlook runs. This is not an intermittent thing - no connection to Exchange is possible after Office H&S has been installed. * Apple Mail continues to work flawlessly even when Outlook doesn't connect. * Installing Office 2011 before Outlook doesn't work because Office asks for the Outlook license key (which I don't have/need - see original post) thinking that I'm trying to upgrade Office from H&S to Home & Business. Thanks again for trying to help with this issue. Regards, Paul. [/QUOTE]
