When logging into outlook on a machine not on the domain
the user is promted for domain name\user name. How can I
change this so the the default domain name is the actual
domain name and not the local machine? So the user
doesn't have to type the domain name each time. Running
XP and Outlook 2003.
 
This is an Authentication feature. It can't be disabled
as long as the PC is not added to the Domain, but only
belongs to a Work Group. The server needs to authenticate
the User against the Domain User list.

You could...:

Add the PC to the Domain.
Add the User's Domain account to the Administrator's or
Power User's group.
Make the Account a Local account and the User will only
have to login to the machine once while connected to the
same LAN the domain is on and the domain authentication
will be cached on the PC or laptop.

Good luck.
