Hi, I have OWA installed on an exchange 2003 SP2 box. My OWA has the full
screen not the username and password prompt. I would like at least the
username to be remembered/ saved when the user opens the OWA screen so they
don't have to continually type in their FQDN and password.

Can anyone provide advice on this please?

Thanks

Dan

Since you're running OWA with Forms based authentication (that's the full
screen login), you can't have it remember the username. If you are only
running 1 domain, you can get rid of the domain requirement though.
There are a lot of articles on how to do that. Here's 1

Thanks Dan, apity that though. OWA is for users on the move so you'd imagine
Microsoft would understand people want to access their email quickly, but
always having to input their username and password.

It's not easy, but you can modify some .js files, and save the username in a
cookie. See if this works okay for you:
