>>When setting up Outlook2K for dli and then having it verify the mailbox it will ask which account and give David Li and Daniel Linden as choices.
This is normal. It doesn't know that Dli is complete. >>When trying to login via OWA it won't get to the users mailbox. What happens when you try? Are you starting with the URL http://OWAservername/exchange/DLi ? -----Original Message----- From: Ken Leyba [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 01, 2002 11:19 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Alias Names Exchange 5.5 SP4/Win2K SP2 When creating users with similar names e.g. David Li and Daniel Linden with usernames dli and dlinden Exchange and OWA cannot determine the difference. When setting up Outlook2K for dli and then having it verify the mailbox it will ask which account and give David Li and Daniel Linden as choices. When trying to login via OWA it won't get to the users mailbox. The alias names should be unique enough and the only workaround is to change the aliases. Is there any setting that I may have wrong or is this the way it is?
