Todd,   If I read this correctly, you are interested in finding out what NetBIOS domain name the user account is in, correct?  The up-level domain name is NOT grayed out, so this must be it (process of elimination and assuming same privilege in AD U&C).   Yes, it is.  I believe that the attribute 'samDomainBase' is what you are after.   As to the Exchange issue - IIRC, you should be able to associate the other BOB via adding his account to the primary user account in Exch Adv tab (and vice versa, if desired) and apply the (here's where the memory gets fuzzy....) READ, (the second to the last perm - whatever that is.... don't remember), and Associate External Account.   Rick Kingslan - Microsoft Certified Trainer   MCSE+I on Windows NT 4.0   MCSE on Windows 2000   MVP [Windows NT/2000 Server] "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."   ---  Arthur C.
