Re: assign new user to workstation

Hi Mike,

Thank you for your update.

I'm glad to hear that things are working correctly for you now.

Generally, I do not think the underscore in the account name will cause
this issue. I know one scenario will cause this symptom: the option "User
must change password at next logon" is enabled. If you enable this option
under the Account tab of the user properties window, the use will not be
able to logon OWA. After the user logon workstation and change the
password, it can logon OWA then.

Please do not hesitate to post in SBS newsgroup if you need any assistance
in the future. I look forward to working with you again.

Thank you and have a nice day,

Best regards,

Terence Liu (MSFT)

Hi Terence,
Thanks for your response. I'm not sure why this worked, but I ended up
deleting the account in question and created a new one. I was able to
authenticate through OWA with the new account. Nor did I need to login to
a
workstation either. I had an "_" (underscore) in the deleted account name;
I
doubt that would cause problems.
Again, I appreciate everyone's help.
kind regards,
-mike

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,

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.
