There is a known bug in XP. This problem is fixed with SP2. If you install SP2 you can use the UPN format login. If you don't like SP2, you have to contact MS product support to get the patch to resolve this issue. I don't remember the KB article number, but search in Kbase you will find it.

Currently on our Exchange server, for users who want to use OWA, they can log into the usual OWA URL like this on our exchange server: http://mail.whatever.com/exchange and they get a password prompt with three fields: User Name, Password, and Domain. They can log in by specifying the pre-Exchange 2003 user name (i.e. without the @theirdomainname.com), the password, and the "NT Domain" name of the Exchange server, which I was able to figure out by trial and error but I am not sure about it. Anyway, users can log into OWA. I would like to set it up so users log into OWA by specifying their UPN email address (username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) and their password, without the need to specify the third parameter, the "NT Domain" (since that is easily forgotten and also I don't like to expose it if I can help it. So ... is it possible to log into OWA by just specifying the email address and password? If the NT Domain has to be specified, exactly how do I figure out what it is? (The value that works on my Exchange does not match anything that is printed out by "ipconfig"). best regards Mike ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: psraj@xxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
