Microsoft Outlook 2003 - Multiple Profiles

[randy]

I'm setting up a new computer that will have multiple users needing to
access our exchange 2003 server. I've set up the multiple profiles and
everything works fine.

However, minor as it may be, the fact that when you click on the
profile to be opened, and the login window pops up with the username of
the last person that logged on WILL be an issue, as well as having to
enter the domain\username.

Is there a way to have the login window open with the userid blank, and
also have it accept only the username instead of having to enter the
domain\username format???

Thanks
Randy

users have to choose a profile to start with so they need to be able to see
theirs from the list of profiles. You could always use separate Windows
accounts.

The article at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/198438/ refers only to Outlook 2000, but I see the same registry values on an Outlook 2003 system. The solution apparently is to delete those entries, but I can't test that right now, so I don't really know if it will work on 2003. Back up the registry first and export that key so you can reimport it if you need to.

I'm just curious: What scenario makes it better for your company to have multiple Outlook profiles rather than each user with their own Windows login on that machine?
