Multiple Logins?

[Patrick Hunter]

I'm trying out Outlook 2003 against an Exchange server
for testing. I am not the administrator of the Exchange
server, some accounts were created for me for testing. I
am wondering if it is possible to login to a different
Exchange account without logging out of Windows entirely
and logging back in as another user and setting up a new
Exchange profile in the next user's profile. For example,
in Novell Groupwise, I can specify which user I want to
login as, no matter who I am logged into the machine as.
When I try this with Outlook, I get kicked out, unless I
login with the username originally setup when I
configured the Exchange server profile.

Another question; is there any sort of auto-config I can
do for the profile? Maybe push down a config file when a
user logs in? I ask these questions because we have an
office where a number of users do not have a machine of
their own, they use whatever machine is available to them
and knowing these things could be a big help in saving
time in manually configuring a profile for each user on
each machine they could be using.

TIA

1) No, you can't configure another NT-user's Outlook profile without being
logged on as that user

2) You can create a custum installation or profile (which can be deployed)
by using the Office Resource Kit which is available as a free download

3) When users a using more than one computer it is better to create a
roaming profile fot those users so their settings are saved on the server
and loaded from the server to the computer when they log on. This way they
will always have their own settings no mather what computer they log on to.
