Outlook: disable use of cached credentials for users not in domain

In large organisations where mailbox is managed centrally but remote desktop or laptop are not in the same active directory context user connects to exchange via RPC or outlook Anywhere.

The account used is an active directory account with probably an expiration so happens that account expires but user do not change the cached password with new one.

To instruct outlook ask every time the password there is a this nice registry key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Security]
"PromptForCredentials"=dword:00000001

Change version accordingly to yours- If you don't know which version is, look at it into one of the office application before to load the key.

Remember that since the key is stored in the Current User if he or she does not have the rights to edit the registry you have to load the hive from an administrative account. But this is another question...

Need help on that ? write me.
