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
