Our company has recently instituted a security policy to restrict staff from logging onto any other office PC than their own, and a few select communal workstations. This restriction was put in place through the user’s Active Directory user account “Log On To” properties.
The problem is though, once those restriction were put in, they disabled the ability of the staff to connect to their Exchange 2003 mailbox via the Outlook Web Access application. Any staff with no logon restrictions (myself and the company owners) have no issues connecting, but restricted accounts are blocked. The users receive the error “The local security authority cannot be contacted” or (if Show friendly HHTP error messages is turned off) “HTTP 500 – Internal server error”
So… is there any work around for this problem, or perhaps a group policy that would allow both the restrictions AND the OWA to function properly, or am I stuck?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Shaun.
