Email access through domain account and standalone account

[zillah]

At work Recently I formatted my laptop , I have got two accounts , domain (AD win2003) account and standalone account.

Domain account is useranem : zillah , password : catcat ,,,,fake one

Standalone account (administrator privildge): username : boss, password : forum,,,,fake one

I tired these within our LAN , I can login into both accounts (zillah and boss).

We are using exchange server 2003 for the email account and outlook 2003 as client .

I can access my work email account when I login as : zillah (domain), but I can not access my email account when I login as : boss (stand alone) ?

Before formatting I was able to access my work email account when I logged in into both accounts,,,OS on my laptop is win2003!!!!

All you need to do is add your domain email account on the local profile.....that is done through "Mail" icon in control panel.........since your Admin account is local therefore you need to provide a user name and password for your email setting (look in "More Setting" in "Exchange Server Setting") under Email account.

Could you please give me more details where I have to do this ? Is it on my laptop and on the exchange server ?

First you have to make your computer a member of the domain (basically join the domain), then make sure with in the local profile you go to control panel / user and indicate that your domain account has local admin rights....this is critical.....finally, go to control panel in (desktop not Server) / Mail / and add the user email account.

Isn't if I want to do this joining, I have to have domain admin account ?

Any PC can join the domain.....when a computer is trying to join the domain, they will be challenged with a user name and password's of whom has permission to add the machine to the domain.....yeah, at that point you can use the administrator's credential to sign in (remember that any user can use their credential to join a machine to a domain, unless domain policy has been modified to disallow that)
