Hi

We have a Win2K3 Server with Exchange 2003 running on it. Everything is perfect with the setup, except OWA, but that is another issue.

Sometimes when I set up a user on a computer, I have trouble with outlook. First of all, here is the scenarrio how I do this.

I log on to the computer with the users domain account. Then, I start outlook. Usually, it prompts me as I am a new user, to give my name, email, and Server options, etc. That is the way I like it. Now, sometimes when I log on with the new user, and I start Outlook, it starts right up, without letting me to set the account up in Outlook. So I go to Tools - Email Accounts - Add new account, and it says, I cannot add another account while Outlook is running, close it, and go to Control Panel and click on Mail, and set it up there. So I close outlook, go to Mail, and click Add new Account, and I choose Exchange, everything is fine, but it gives me a warning (The default location of mails is going to be stored on the Harddisk, if I want to change it go to Tools and run the Email accounts command). So I do that, but it wont let me choose the default locations for the mails, so that I could set to keep it on the exchange.

Reason why I need this, is that sometimes I set up a user on multiple workstations, and I dont want the Emails to be deleted off the server. How can I set this?

When I go to Manage Outlook Data files (in outlook), and I want to delete the place where it stores the email, it says Error, this is the default place, you cannot delete it until you create a new delivery location for mails. Hmm...

Also, once I fix this, how can I send the emails back to the Exchange, so that they user can get them on the other computer as well? It deleted some 30MBs of Emails....:(

Thanks

Benedek
