I posted this over at EE, thought I would try here as well:

 

I have an interesting dilemma.  I have a server running Windows/Exchange
2003 SP2, and a user running Outlook 2007.  The other day she reported
that her computer kept asking for her password.  When I looked at it, it
was her email that kept prompting for a user name and password.  Her
user account was under jpsmith (fake name of course...:)) and her
password had not been changed.  So I deleted and recreated her profile,
thinking that would fix it, but it kept coming back requesting a
password.  Her computer is on the domain, and she can access network
files and such.

I then tried to create a new profile again, but this time when I put her
account under the server name in the Outlook setup, a "Check Name,
Microsoft Outlook does not recognize"  message came up and asked for a
different account.  The choice that came up was her name, strangely
enough.  But when I looked at the properties of the account it was
showing, it had her login as jsmith, not jpsmith.  

So I went to the server and looked everywhere in AD and Exchange, but
could not find that account anywhere.  So I assume it is some sort of
orphaned user account.  I also know its something server related,
because I logged into another domain pc with her proper credentials and
tried to add her mailbox and the same thing happened.

Where do I go to find this account and remove it?  Exchange?  AD?

 

Thanks,

 

Jay
