I administer a Windows 2000 Server running Exchange Server 2000, setup in a
Domain environment of course. It's been working fine for 3 years. Last week
I noticed "All Public Folders" had been renamed by mistake by one of the
users (an owner of the business) with administrative rights. I renamed it
back to "All Public Folders."
Since then three users keep getting prompted to logon during their Outlook
2003 session. It seems that the workstation looses connection with the
Active Directory on the server. I read articles about "Zombie" users and
maybe there are too many etc. Am I looking in the right direction? How and
where do I clean Zombie users?
When the user is prompted to logon, if I hold off and check folder shares
(mapped drives) the mapped drives work fine. Shared printing works fine.
Programs like Goldmine work fine. The authentication prompt only happens in
Outlook and is driving the clients crazy (and me!!). It prompts for
user/pass every hour or so.
Please . . . any suggestions would help. I've tried creating a new Domain
account and logging on as that user and testing Outlook - same thing
happens. The entire LAN has 12 users. Only 3 PC's have been affected.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
