I don't think it's a problem with IIS or DNS. I can get to the mailbox fine using the user account from the child domain that E2K is installed in, both using Outlook and OWA. When using OWA, I enter the UN/PW/Domain from the NT domain (the domain where my real user accounts are), E2K checks its database to see what mailbox to open, and it doesn't seem to be finding a mailbox associated with that user. If it had a feature similar to Ex5.5 where I tell it what mailbox I want, then give it the UN/PW/Domain that has the security to open it, I would be fine.
I don't want my users to have to remember 2 different user accounts/passwords and will probably give in to HQ if I can't get this to work.

Possible a DNS issue. You can have multiple AD directories that are accessible by using server1.domain.com or domain.comm but the user must know to type the FQDN in where the domain name field is. I hope this pushes you in the right direction. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Blomquist" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, May 24, 2002 2:23 PM Subject: I don't trust headquarters (OWA question) > HQ does not have a good record when it comes to W2K and E2K so I don't trust > them.
