I just installed and configured share point 2003 on windows 2003 server and
exchange 2003. I have several users in the office that use windows XP and
2000 professional.

I have two questions:

1. Logon to share point differs from 2000 professional and XP users. XP
users can logon in the user@domain.com format while 2000 professional users
must logon in the domain.com\username format. How can I unify that where
everybody logon in the same format (user@domain.com).

2. How can I make sharepoint synchronize their user database with AD.
Meaning that sharepoint gets user info from AD.

3. Is there a way to logon to sharepoint automatically once the user logon
to the workstation. Example is when a user logon to the workstation with
their AD user name and they go to the sharepoint web site, I want them not
to logon automatically using their windows logon. Is that possible.

4. Every time someone opens a document in sharepoint, it ask them for
username name and password even though they already logged on before. When
they enter their user name and password, it opens the document but when they
try to open another document, it ask them again for user name and password.
Is there a solution to that?

Thanks for help. I really appreciate it.

No way to add users by syching with AD. You can import AD information
forprofiles and audiences:

Site Settings > Profile Database

Configure the virtual serve, rice IIS, to use Windows Integrated
Authentication.

Adding the portal site to IE trusted sites zone can help with this.

Thank you Edward for your help. I want to clear and comments on some of my
questions.:

on Question # 2, I want to automatically import user info from AD to
sharepoing w/o admin intervention. Is that possible?

On question #3, I have IIS configured to integrated windows authentication.
Still I have to logon to sharepoint when I access it. Strange that my OWA on
another server and under another IIS and set the same but if it does not ask
me to logon when I am already logged on to my workstation. what am I
missing?

I have not done # 4 yet.

Thanks you again and hope to hear from you soon.

Question #3: Did you go into IE and make sure that your portal is in the
intranet zone? If it is not then your IE setting are probably not set to
pass your current username/password.
