Hi Greg

When you run connectcomputer you need to logon to the Wizard as Domain
Administrator and then Select the Computer name and Add the users you want
(I certainly would Add Administrator!!). On the second reboot login to the
Domain as Domain Administrator and let the Setup run and Install Outlook and
any other selected Client Apps. On next reboot login as normal user.
