Ken, I'm afraid that's just the way it is (AFAIK). You can use the full smtp address when logging into OWA to access the mailbox (i.e. "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" instead of "dlinden"). That should work around the OWA problem.

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?
