changed NT password - can't logon to Outlook

[tinajoe7]

Ok, I'm feeling pretty stupid right about now. I changed my NT password from our PDC (something I haven't done in quite a while), and now when I try to get into Outlook, I get the message "unable to open your default email folders. You do not have permission to log on." I tried deleting my profile, disabling the "NT password authentication" in the Logon Network Security, restarting my computer, restarting email services, and changing my password back to what it was originally. I can log on to the network fine, just not Outlook. Any ideas? TIA.

Outlook 2000, SP3
Windows XP SP2

It'll take at least 15 minutes for the info to replicate. If you want to speed things up, maybe do a Domain Synch using Server Manager.

Forgot to mention--I did all this yesterday. And looking at the event viewer for the mail server, it does show several partial synchronization replications with PDC and multiple changes applied.

Any other ideas?

Your Outlook profile must have a different username or appear to be. Redo a new account profile setup on your Outlook.

Check if OWA accepts the new password change, that's a sure-fire way to check if your mail account is still active with the new password.

Well, what worked in the end was going into Exchange Administrator, changing the NT account associated with my mailbox to something else, then changing it back to my account again. Who knows...Thanks for the advice.
