Niki, Does IIS have the correct domain listed as the default for NT logons? I've seen something similar where IIS seemed to 'forget' the domain setting. Also, although you're using domain logins,I'd check the IUSR account isn't locked out - worth a look.

I've tried from home lunchtime and can access their email no problem, I'm running XP Pro at home and access via VPN, or alternatively can connect straight to the OWA server across the internet without the need for the VPN. I mention this as I suspected it might be to do with the dialin machines not being members of our NT domain It doesn't seem to matter whether the OS is Win2k or NT, same problems experienced I've tried with the username on its own, as well as in the format; OURDOMAIN\username But still the same At a bit of a loss right now This is the error recorded in Event Viewer on the OWA server, though I suspect it the generic 'you typed your password wrong, stupid' error Didn't seem to yield anything applicable on technet Source: W3SVC EventID: 100 The server was unable to logon the Windows NT account 'useraccount' due to the following error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. The data is the error code. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.
