I have a network with Win 98SE clients. Running Exchange 5.5. When I logoff and back on as someone else, they cannot access Outlook. I get the "You do not have permission to logon" error. It seems like the default profile is not changing for the user. Any ideas? Thanks.

Right-click on your Outlook program --> normal-click on Properties. Make sure that the profile is set to "Prompt for a profile to be used" instead of "Always use this profile."

That should do it.

If you have profiles enabled in Windows (I think it's the last tab on the Passwords control panel), Outlook should automatically pick up the previous settings for a particular user after they've been configured. If you don't use profiles in Windows, then Outlook will always point to one mailbox, no matter who logs on to the computer. In this case, you'll either need to set up profiles in Outlook, or manually change the settings each time a different user wants to use Outlook.

logon as the user with the default profile.
open the services Tools|Services
view the properties of the Exchange service and go to the advanced tab
you will find a pull down at the bottom of the dialog box showing NT Authentication
change this to none.
goto tools options and change the mail services tab option for profile to prompt for profile.
Now anybody with a profile installed on the local pc can use Outlook after entering thier username/password/workgroup info.
I did this from memory, the steps are right, but the locations may be a little off.
I know that this will help.
We have a pc for training that is set up this way and everybody can view their mail with no problem.
