Exchange Hijacks Default Account

Hello all,

I am using SBS 2003 and Oulook 2003 clients on a domain. I intially switched
over to using Exchange completely, then discovered that If I wanted to send
mail from more than one domain, I was either SOL or would have to jump
through many rings of fire.

I switched back to POP3 accounts, but kept Exchange in the mix for one
reason, and one reason only: To share an address book on the domain. The
problem now is that whenever we log off of the domain and log back in,
Exchange assumes it should be the default account, not the POP3 account I
have selected. Both computers on the domain exhibit this behavior. We swtich
them back to the preferred POP3 account, it retaliates.

What I'd really like to have some help with is:

1) Being able to share an address book without running Exchange and/or
2) Stop Exchange from hijacking my Outlook account settings.

Number one would be really great, as I could go back to a simple file
sharing situation and use 175MB of memory to share an address book, not 800.

TIA,

Stuart McKendrick
 
I'm told "SBS uses a logon script that does it. Remove the logon script and
all is well. I think if they mnake a new profile not named outlook, it will
also work, but I never tested it." Give it a try...
