I have Outlook 2007 and IE7 running on a W2K3 terminal server (in execute
mode). Here is the specific problem I have: there is a link to a website
that requires a login in the e-mail. I click on the link in the e-mail and I
am taken to the correct site and prompted for log in. After logging in, I am
redirected to the content referenced from the link in the e-mail. In the
same message, I click on another link that should take me to different
content on the same site, opened in a new tab. However, a new iexplore
process is started and I am once again prompted to log in. After logging in
again I am redirected to the correct content. How can I keep from having
separate iexplore processes from opening?

Here are some of the tests I've tried so far:
1. This works flawlessly on a WinXP Pro SP2 computer.
2. On the terminal server, if I copy the link in Outlook then manually open
a new tab and paste the link - I am not prompted for another log in.
3. If I am using OWA the links work without a problem.


Is there a way to keep Outlook from creating separate instances of the
iexplore process in terminal server?

Are all URLs https:// (secure webpages) or is the page you eventually want
to access an http:// URL (non-secure webpage)?

Not enough detail. Can you give some specific URLs?
E.g. your symptom can be explained if there is a switch in zones.
Also, it's not clear what your IE7 tab options are and whether they
would apply here.

Otherwise, have you tried dragging the URL to where you want it opened?
Since you're dealing with two different apps it should be simple enough
to arrange windows to do that. E.g. maximize or use Fullscreen mode
on the target IE window; leave the source OL message window in normal
mode (not maximally sized) on top and drag the link to wherever some of
the IE window is still showing.

I apologize for not including this before.

The URLS are https.

Thank you,
