Hello, I have a really weird and annoying problem. I have a laptop which is a member Different Windows Domain than is my Exchange Server. I am running Outlook 2003 and I would like to connect to my exchange server. If I log into my normal logon account on the laptop I can not sucessfully setup an Outlook profile. If I log onto another account on the laptop I can setup a profile and connect. With my own account I start setting up the profile but during the check username part it simply freezes up. Being patient I walked away from it for an hour and still nothing. As I say I can create a profile using another account on the laptop and I can sucessfully connect. So I don't think it's a networking issue. It simply hangs up when start outlook. I've tried safe mode as well same deal. Has anyone else seen this type of bahavior? I would really like to use outlook with my own user account. BTW I can sucessfully connect with other machines using my account so its specific to this laptop/user account. Any ideas?
