roaming profiles on an NT4 network

[bchizary]

hello i am setting up exchange 5.5 on an NT4 box. client pcs are outlook 2k on various 95/98/XP machines- however on many of they more than one person uses it depending on shifts (early/late/nights etc)
Is it possible to access you email using imap based on your sign on, or be prompted for a sign on when entering Outlook?
So in theory i could access my mails on any pc on the network and so can everyone else.

thanks mucho

setup outlook so that on startup it prompts for a profile to be used (tools - options - mail services). you can create many profiles on one pc and whoever logs on selects their profile from the dropdown box. that's what we do anyway.

Try Outlook Profiler to automatically setup Exchange profiles even on login.
I like it.

hi, just ref the post from jimm7772, is it possible for that to then prompt for a password?

bchizary,

sorry for the delay in replying - try setting the Logon Network Security properties of the outlook client (Advanced tab)to None this prompts for a password (i think - we don't use this we insist our users to logon to nt first)

Merry Christmas !
