Re: Outlook /exchange cant log in after password change Perhaps Local Workgroup settings remaining from non AD environment



As a test if you reset your boss's password to whatever it was originally
does it all work correctly?

If it does then I suspect you have conflicting Local and Domain
permissions/Authentication.

If Boss also has a local user account on the PC

When he changed the password did he change the local password or the Domain
password

Sounds like you are working in a workgroup mode within a domain.

Would be best if domain now functional to add computers correctly to the
domain and not run this workgroup mode at all
