Outlook login prompt on sbs2000 exchange

Hello,

I've read several hundred posts on this subject, but nothing has been
exactly what I'm seeing. This is on an sbs2000 server with only win2k and
xp clients. Network was recently rebuilt after a bad server crash, new
install, new AD, everything, exchange restored from backup tape. Some
clients, and I believe only XP clients will start getting username,
password, domain prompt when opening Outlook for the first time after login.
After that, they can close Outlook and reopen with no prompt, but log off
the network once again initiates the prompt. I have checked and all are set
to NT Authorization in local Outlook, they can get to network resources,
files, internet ok, just Outlook is prompting. When the network was being
rebuilt and it was determined that AD would have to be recreated, it was
done IN AD users and computers, not in the console. Could this have set
login permissions incorrectly so that the aren't carrying over to Exchange?
Also, this problem on some PC's did not appear immediately, but after 3 or 4
weeks, and is also happening with some of the users in question over VPN
from home, and a second satellite office, however, I can go to a different
PC in the office, log in as one of the users with the problem and Outlook
will open fine with no prompt. Oh, all client PC's were moved off the
domain to a workgroup, then rejoined after AD was reestablished.

Like I said, I've read several hundred posts about Outlook prompting for
username, password, and domain, but it is usually a case of having login
option set to none, or the issue where Outlook prompts several times and
won't log on at all, or prompting only when certain messages are opened. I
have not found anything on prompts when Outlook login option is set
correctly.

Oh, one other issue I've noticed that may or may not be relevant. Before
the crash, I was able to browse the M drive (I know, leave the M drive alone
:), but I could, and now I get access denied if I click on any folder other
than the Administrator account that I am logged in on.

Could it be that I need to remove the users in AD and recreate them using
the console wizard, or readd the PC's with the wizard?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Bill
