We are trying to roll out Exchange Server 2000 at our office but we are having a problem creating a very important account we have on our old mail server (service@) When we try to create the user "service" we get the following error msg: "windows cannot create the new user object becuase the pre-windows 2000 logon name service is already in use. select another name, and then try again" I assume that this is reserved word or something for AD user accounts. We need to be able to send and receive emails w/ "service@", how can we get this to work on exhange 2K?
Use another name for the account. The account name has no bearing on the email addresses it has, it is just common practice to make them the same. You could call the account bobiscool and have service@somecompany.com as the email address. joe -- Joe Richards Microsoft MVP Windows Server Directory Services www.joeware.net dantheriver wrote: > We are trying to roll out Exchange Server 2000 at our office but we are > having a problem creating a very important account we have on our old > mail server (service@) When we try to create the user "service" we get > the following error msg: > > "windows cannot create the new user object becuase the pre-windows 2000 > logon name service is already in use. select another name, and then try > again" > > I assume that this is reserved word or something for AD user accounts. > We need to be able to send and receive emails w/ "service@", how can we > get this to work on exhange 2K? >
