OWA SBS2003 "Alex" <alexdeletethishammerstein[ at ]hotmail.co.uk> 09.07.2007 08:36:04 Hi We have some users away from our office, and in their SBS user accounts we specify that they can only log on using a specific computer ( based on computer name) When one of these users tried to log onto OWA using her correct computer, OWA told her that her user name and password was wrong. I then chjanged her account setting to 'Use any computer'. She then tried to log to OWA, using the same computer as above, and it worked. Have i missed something? thanks A

This does not allow logon at the server console, only remotely, there's a separate prohibition against local logon to the server.

Therefore the OWA logon actually occurs *on* the server, not the OWA client machine. Workstation logon restrictions will block OWA access. -- Steve Foster [SBS MVP] --------------------------------------- MVPs do not work for Microsoft. Please reply only to the newsgroups.

Re: OWA SBS2003 "Alex" <aph[ at ]hotmail.co.uk> 09.07.2007 20:30:34 Thanks Steve Do I take it that Joes suggestion of adding the server as a computer will resolve the problem? Alex
