Hi guys, wierd problem here. Let's say i log in with jsmith, authenticates fine. Then I see this mail.mydomain.com/exchange/sbrewer/... in the url of IE where it should say .../exchange/jsmith. But it's still hitting my correct mailbox. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks!
 
Please can anyone help? I searched google and can't find anything.
 
Can't say I've run across anything like this, however I will point out that the URL does not contain the username, but rather the Exchange mailbox alias name. This is generally the same thing, but not always. We changed the naming convention on our accounts a few years back, but the mailboxes predated the change, so our aliases are in the old format and accounts names are different. Maybe it is something like this?
 
Finally found that that's exactly what's going on. He had a few smtp email addresses and it just picked one of those to display in the URL, but it was still hitting the correct mailbox. Thanks for the reply!!
