Outlook Password Prompt on Domain joined External Users

Open up Exchange PowerShell and change the authentication methods on the MAPI virtual directory. We will be removing the negotiate authentication mechanism. Use the command below:

Set-MapiVirtualDirectory -Identity “YOURSERVERNAME\mapi (Default Web Site)” -ExternalURL https://YOURSERVERNAME.YOURDOMAIN.com/mapi -IISAuthenticationMethods NTLM,OAuth

We now need to modify the Authentication settings inside of IIS to remove Negotiate from both the mapi and EWS directories. The command above may have removed it from mapi, but it’s still good to confirm and we still need to change it for EWS. Open IIS Manager, Expand “Default Web Site”. Select “EWS” on the left hand side, and then select “Authentication” on the Right side as shown below:

IIS Manager Left Pane

Select Windows Authentication and then click “Providers” on the right Action Pane. Now remove “Neogiate” from the list so that only NTLM remains, as shown below:

IIS Manager Authentication Providers

Repeat for the mapi on the left as well (Select “Default Web Site”, select “mapi” on the left hand side, and then select “Authentication” on the right side), and confirm that only NTLM is in the list of providers.

Open up command prompt and type “IISRESET” to reload IIS, or restart your Exchange Server!
