Does anyone know if this is possible. I have user A which
is a member of domain A and has an exchange mailbox in
domain A. We also have a "generic" training user id set
up in domain B (not a child domain but a completely
different forest) and we'll call them user B and they also
have a mailbox in domain B. Let's say user A signs into a
training pc in our training facility using user B. I know
how to use the CIW for office to create a profile that
will automatically create the profile for user B since
they are signed in. Easy enough. What if I want user A
to be able to sign in to their own email using the outlook
client while they are logged in as user B. Is this
possible? I know they could using OWA, but we really need
the client. I would want 2 profiles created for sure and
would have outlook prompt for which profile should be
used. I can also create the training users outlook
profile manually. Let's say we have user B which is a
training user. User B will always sign in to the same
workstation. They only thing that would need to be
dynamic would be the actual user, user A. I can get the
profile to prompt for a user id, password, and domain but
it doesn't pull up the users email that has signed in. I
can't use the %username% variable in the CIW because user
A is not signed into the workstation. Is this possible or
am I way off the wall here?

It's possible, but not completely automated because of the log on. I think
you'll need an interactive script to add the user name to the profile before
they run it, or they can open the prf in notepad and edit the name.
