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?

RE: Alias Names
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.

RE: Alias Names
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. -Jim Jim Holmgren MCSE, CCNA [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Engineer Advertising.com We bring innovation to interactive communication.

RE: Alias Names
OK I give, where do I put the e-mail address on the login page or the dialog box that comes up? I can't seem to login to OWA this way. Or does this work for Exchange 2000, remember I'm on Exchange 5.5. --- Ken Leyba Windows/Exchange System Administrator California State University Dominguez Hills -Original Message- From: Salvador Manzo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 01, 2002 11:24 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Alias Names you could always have the users in question input the e-mail address (ex.

RE: Alias Names
Initial login page on OWA (first screen you get). The box that pops up next is for your standard NT credentials. -Jim Jim Holmgren MCSE, CCNA [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Engineer Advertising.com We bring innovation to interactive communication.
