Outlook 2000/2002 domain credentials on workgroup

M

Matt

Hi, I have a small problem I would like to solve that I have already
spent way too much time on. We have exchange 2000 server on a domain
and we are trying to access it from a workgroup on a subnet without a
domain controller. We are not wanting to join these computers to the
domain. We want to bypass the user credentials box that asks for the
password to the exchange account. wondering if there is some way to
pass the users credentials via a batch file or via a registry key.
The computers are winNT or Win2k. We know XP would have no problem as
there is a /savecred switch for the net use command but there is
nothing similar in 2k. Also I have read that outlook 2003 has the
option ot save the exchange password.

Any help would be gladly appreciated.

Not possible. Why is it such a problem for the users to enter their
credentials? It takes only a second....
