I am having the same problem.
When using a system varible Outlook does not resolve the varible to the name. I am currently using For "MailBox" %MailBoxName% I have tried =MailBoxName both with and with out the % sign. I have set in my login script to add this variable to the computer. as well as to have checked to make sure that the variable is showing when doing a set command. When doing this Out look is still telling me that "The name could not be resolved" Any help with this one would be great.

There's no guarantee that Outlook will resolve anything but %username% =

Exchange server 5.5 (Planning for upgrade), Servers NT 4.0 ( Planning for
upgrade) I am building a generic image with XP SP2 and with Office 2003. to be deployed to all users. Are goal is to do as little hands on work on the machines as possible. Possible problem is that our domain accounts are not the same as our Mailbox account names. and yes it is happening to all of our test users.

Ok I did do some changing around of my outlook config file and the "username"
variable. I was able to get it to finally resolve to the name using the "username variable. now this brings up another question. since my domain account names and mailbox account names are diffrent. If I have my login script change the system variable of "username" to match the mail box account name is this going to cause problms with Windows XP?
