Re: assign new user to workstation

Hello Mike,

Thank you for posting here. Let's also thank Dave and Joe for the input.

According to your description, I understand that you create a new account
and unable to log it on OWA. If I have misunderstood the problem, please
don't hesitate to let me know.

In fact, we unable to assign a newly created user account to a existing
workstation thru the Add User Wizard. We can only assign newly created user
account to a new workstation.

Dave an Joe are right, we can logon each workstation with each domain user
account by default. We no need to assign the user to the workstation.

Based on my research, after we create a new user thru Add User Wizard, the
user can logon OWA immediately. I suggest we try the following steps to see
if we can resolve this issue:

1. Ensure you create the new user account thru Add User Wizard: Server
Management console -> Users -> Add a User link.

2. Please try to logon RWW first after he user be created, then click Read
my company e-mail link to access OWA.

If we cannot resolve the issue after we perform the steps above, please
help me collect some information for further investigation:

1. What error do you get when you try to logon OWA? Please capture
screenshots of the error messages and send the pictures to me at
v-terliu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

2. Can you logon OWA after you logon one workstation?

3. Do you be prompted to input new password when you first logon
workstation?

I hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu (MSFT)

Well, I created an account and tried to test it on OWA and it didn't
authenticate. So I figured if I logged into a workstation and
authenticated
on the domain, OWA may work after that.

Hi All,

I'm sorry to bother with such a dumb question that is probly right
under
my nose:

I can't seem to assign a newly created user account to a workstation
already joined to the domain. I want to assign the new account to a
workstation to which another user is already assigned in order to
login.
Any light shed on this would be really appreciated.

As far as I know, 'assignment' is something only offered when the
account
is created.

What problem are you trying to solve? By default, any domain user can
logon to any workstation. If you're using roaming profiles or a
redirection equivalent, the profile should be available anywhere.
