Hmmm. That can't be right. You join a new workstation to the domain, and
someone sitting at an unrelated computer gets a different mail profile?

What exactly are you doing & what do you see in your event logs/what error
messages do you get, etc?

We have
things setup so it should not be pushing out the outlook profile

How?

or
the new version of outlook

Since you have OL2003 as part of SBS2003, use that - seriously. Outlook 2k
is old, unsupported, buggy, and you should move away from it.

but every time you reload the machine

What does "reload" mean?

the
pop server is changed to 127.0.0.1

Why are you using POP? What are you accessing?

That said, this symptom is due to client-side antivirus software (and it
would be old stuff at that, since this is an outdated technique)...not your
Exchange/SBS box. Disable your email scanning on the client AV software and
watch this problem go away.

and the username has the domain
appended a second time. it seems to be happening to most if not all
the clients. any help would be appreciated.

It sounds like you have a bit of an odd configuration....you will likely
need to provide more details as to your setup. I do, however, suggest you
make some changes - you aren't likely to be getting the most value out of
your Exchange server with the existing config. Use OL2003 with cached mode,
connect everyone directly to their Exchange mailbox (no POP, no IMAP, no
PST), and have your domain's mail hosted directly onthe Exchange server via
SMTP - your users will love you if you do this right.
