Well, you know the drill: 
-what happens if another user logs on to the same system?
-can the user work from another system (using the same software)?
-did you re-create the profile?
-any problems with the machine account (remove the computer from the domain and put it 
back in)?

Subject: [ActiveDir] Outlook XP makes me want to throw it out the window!


Get your attention with the subject? :)

I have been battling a problem with one of my user's machines for the past week. She 
is running Windows XP Pro, Office XP Pro SP1. Whenever she starts up her Outlook, she 
gets prompter for the username, password and server.

I put the information in exactly as it should be (and have verified with my AD on the 
server) and I get the following message:

"Your login information was incorrect. Check your username and domain, then type in 
your password again. If your account is new or if your administrator requested a 
password change you need to click Change Password then logon with your new password."

I re-check the info in the AD on the server via VNC so I am right there at her 
terminal doing double checks. I re-enter the password, and get the message again. I 
change the password on the AD, then enter the new password on her Outlook (usually use 
1 as the password so I know I type it correct) and still get the above error. 

I need to get this resolved for her as she is in charge of accounting and has made my 
life hell in the past because since I am the IT Manager I should be all knowing, all 
powerful (a common misconception by those users that know no better)

So, please if anyone knows what I can do to resolve this, please let me know. I'm at 
my wits end!

Thanks,
Chris
