RE: continuous prompt for NT domain credentials
We're seeing the same issue on a small handful of our desktops. I checked the same Q articles but no luck. Exchange 2000 w/SP3 rollup hotfix v1 Windows 2000 Outlook 2002 SP2 3 out of 4 times the workaround was to uninstall then re-install Office. This did not work for the 4th user. This 4th users password is not about to expire. Any suggestions appreciated.

RE: Strange behaviour after running ISINTEG
It wasn't a premier article. I had pulled up the article when I sent the e-mail but now I can't find it either. It's not even on the list of bugs that the rollup hotfix addresses. Basically the mailbox size in ESM is different than what outlook tells the user and when you run an isinteg the mailbox size in ESM is larger, more accurate to what outlook says it is.

RE: Customizing the uncustomizable
We worked with MCS and they provided me with the RLQuickED utility. It was not intuitive to use and took me about 2 hours of playing with the utility to understand how it worked.

Outlook 2000, outlook 2002 and e-mail address resolution ---slightly off topic
Slightly off topic... The outlook client configured for an exchange 5.5 server would perform address resolution after the address was typed in the TO or CC field. This could be seen because the address or username would be underlined by a solid black line. The outlook client configured against an exchange 2000 server appears to only perform address resolution when the message is sent. There is no underlining of the address or names by default. If you go to toolscheck names then the client will underline address's that are valid.
