IP resolution when setting up an outlook profile

When I set up an outlook profile on a normal user, if I enter the IP address
of the Exchange server it doesn't resolve to a name. However, when a domain
admin enter the IP address of the exchange server it resolves to the name.
The only difference I can see is that one that resovles is domain admin and
the other doesn't have any Admin privleges. The primary and secondary DNS
servers are the same and all NIC settings are the same. Any idea what would
cause this???

Thanks for your help!

Well, first, is this just a curiousity issue, or is there actually a
problem?

If you go to a command line while logged in as the regular user and try a
ping -a of the ip address, does it return the server name? What about as
the domain admin?

I'm also assuming that this is on the same machine. Is it?
 
This is a curiousity issue. When I do a ping -a it resolves the server name
as both domain admin and a regular user. Yes its on the same machine.

Ok, I'd log in as the regular user and the domain admin and compare the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\Exchange
Provider\RPC_Binding_Order information. Is it the same?
 
They are the same.
