Re: pre-windows 2000 logon name __ is already in use



Use another name for the account. The account name has no bearing on the email addresses it has, it is just common practice to make them the same. You could call the account bobiscool and have service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx as the email address.

We are trying to roll out Exchange Server 2000 at our office but we are
having a problem creating a very important account we have on our old
mail server (service@) When we try to create the user "service" we get
the following error msg:

"windows cannot create the new user object becuase the pre-windows 2000
logon name service is already in use. select another name, and then try
again"

I assume that this is reserved word or something for AD user accounts.
We need to be able to send and receive emails w/ "service@", how can we
get this to work on exhange 2K?
