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.

Is
there a way to query the AD and find out what domain the account is
in. In AD users and computers there is a field next to the
samAccountname field that tells you what domain the account is in. It
is grayed out so you can't change it. Is that field query
able?
Second
We
support Exchange 5.5 mailboxes with multiple authentication credentials from
different domains and this appears to work in AD and Exchange 5.5 without a
problem. Users can access E 5.5 mailboxes via POP, IMAP or MAPI
using alternate credentials with no problem. There have been some
questions raised by members in our group about of this is still
supported with the move to Exchange 2000 and the use
of virtual servers for POP, IMAP and OWA. They feel it might
cause a problem because of the way the virtual servers reference the
mailbox and account.
Here is a brief description
Dom1 <-Two Way Trust-> Dom2
ExMBX Primary NT account Dom1\bob, permissions
given to Dom2\bob2.
MAPI and POP/IMAP work in E5.5
MAPI is confirmed to work in
E2K,
What about pop, imap and owa? will the BOB2
account still be allowed to access the mailbox?
We
are setting it up in the lab now, but any input is
appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
Todd
