1. there are no entries in the local hosts files, dns entries do not exist for the exchange server or dc's - wins and lmhosts resolve the netbios names correctly. 2. there are 2 nt domains & 2 exchange servers, each server is in a separate org and separate domain. Each user has an nt account in 1 domain, and a mailbox on the server in that domain. When they visit a remote office, they can't log in to their exchange server in the remote domain...
I will set up dns entries and see if that helps... > -----Original Message----- > From: Andy David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 10 June 2003 12:51 > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: Re: seems like a name resolution problem > > > 1.
