My problem was that users and mailboxes are not even in the same forest, and I have a single domain name to mail to.
I was able to solve my problem with using mail.mydomain.com/exchange/<alias> as the address my users will go to, this will tell exchange exactly which mailbox I want to open. Now when it prompts me for a user I can give it the credentials for my other domain. It works fine. I was able to come with this solution because the people in this list kept me thinking about new fixes. Thanks all.

Let me explain.... My root domain is aaa.bbb.com My child domain ccc.aaa.bbb.com However, when you send me mail from the internet, it's [EMAIL PROTECTED] bbb.com is currently in the default recipient policy. Now, if you had various email addresses that you host, e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED], then fff.com needs to be in the default recipient policy. If it's not, then OWA will not work (among other things) Thanks Russell -----Original Message----- From: Robert Blomquist [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 9:21 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: I don't trust headquarters (OWA question) In my test lab all users in the child domain are using the default recipient policy. The users in my NT domain are not, the only link between domains is a trust relationship. I don't see how in my case it could be related to the recipient policy but I took a look and didn't see anything that may allow a user outside of the forest, even with rights, to load the correct mailbox. maybe if I added the mailbox to the url when accessing the owa server... I'm going to give that a shot.

Are all the addresses that the users are currently using in the default recipient policy?? Thanks Russell -----Original Message----- From: Robert Blomquist [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 24, 2002 2:24 PM To: Exchange Discussions 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. I'm trying to minimize exposure to the inevitable screwup. Our E2K server will be in a child domain to HQ, I want to run a totally separate domain (ultimately W2K w/AD) with trust relationships setup. The child domain will only be to hold mailboxes, I don't want to run user or computer accounts out of this domain. This will occur in my separate domain. I have gotten the whole thing setup, my NT users can login and access the E2K mailboxes in the AD domain. That part works fine (all in a test environment.) What doesn't work is OWA. OWA doesn't know which mailbox to open when I type in the UN,PW,Domain of the NT domain. I don't want my users logging in with the user accounts of the E2K child domain. Is there anything else I can do or am I out of luck? Thanks.
