I've got a student 2003 domain in native mode, with a 2003 exchange server. We are teaching an Office class in a couple weeks, and for some reason, the students need to be domain admins (and no, that's not an option) to create the Outlook profile. Once the profile is created, Outlook appears to run normally. We've tried making the students local admins (and local power users), and but it still fails to resolve the student's name during the profile creation. The specific error is: "The bookmark is not valid" (if you use a partial user name) or "The name could not be resolved. The bookmark is not valid." (if you use the full user name) In the past, students have always accessed their email with OWA, so we never noticed the problem. Any suggestions?
Can't say I've ever seen a "bookmark" related error from the Check Names dialog in Outlook. That's not likely an Exchange problem. Have you tried the Outlook newsgroups?
