No offense taken. The reason is that most of them are developers and need to be able to install and uninstall software. I could have them log on with other user accounts and put those user accounts in the local administrators group but it was easier to use administrator. Most of them are remote users so I don't have them logging into the domain because they would be getting all kinds of errors while their machines tried to connect to the domain. There are other reasons as well and yes it is screwed up and caused me all kinds of nightmares but I don't always have the final say on how things will be setup.

You give them admin access to their own machines, yet do not let their machines be part of the domain? What an administrative nightmare. -----Original Message----- From: Louanne Fournier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 2:45 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Authentication issues This is kind of a strange one to be asking, I think I know what the problem is but am looking for advice on the best workaround. I am running E2k SP2 with clients using Outlook 2000. Each of my users has a notebook running W2k Server and is in their own workgroup (not part of my domain). We do this for a number of reasons but it is resulting in authentication problems for my exchange users. >From my reading I can see the the EMS is using my users logon credentials to establish a RPC connection with the Exchange server. Because my users logon as administrator to their machines it is using those credentials to send to the server which are unrecognized. What happens to my users is that they get prompted over and over for their user credentials and cannot open Outlook. I have them browse to the Exchange Server through Explorer, double-click the Exchange Server and authenticate using their network name and password. Once they have done this there is no problem opening Outlook. The funny thing is once they do this work-around authentication they don't seem to get the logon credentials error anymore. It seems to be caching that info somewhere, although it will occasionally re-appear again. Does anyone have any ideas on an easier way around this? I had the same setup in Exchange 5.5 and my users never had authentication problems.

I have it run in a scheduled batch file. -----Original Message----- From: Blunt, James H (Jim) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 2:20 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Server Log Consolidation I'm looking for a Server Log Consolidation program (preferrably free), that will allow me to gather the Application, Security & System log files from all my Exchange 5.5 servers into a central repository and filter them for warning and error messages. I've searched MSKB and Google, but nothing really jumps out at me. Suggestions or links anyone?
