Hey Andrew,
Thanks so much, it worked!
My apologies,, I forgot to mention that I have a different domain set for
the accepted domains in Exchange.
Just one more question please?
So I've successfully added the UPN suffix in AD,
When I connect in outlook and add my email address and password and click
next, outlook tries to authenticate but then comes back asking me to enter
my credentials.
I have to click on more choices, in the username, I add my email address and
password and then all goes through.
Would you perhaps know why I have to enter my credentials twice?
Your help would really be much appreciated.
Kind Regards

exchange?
Hi,
You should be able to log in via just the username part, but the best idea
is to set a UPN that is the same as your email domain and then create a UPN
to match the username of the email address.
This is done automatically if you created your AD domain with the same
domain as your email address, i.e, company.com, but if you used
company.local you need to go through the steps of adding company.com as a
trusted UPN in Active Directory and setting the users to use it.
Hope this steers you in the right direction, Andrew.

Hi Listers,
Sorry for the somewhat vague subject.
To those who have setup an on-premmiesis exchange server,
How do you go about having a user accessing mails via outlook logon just
using their email address and password?
As it currently is, I have to connect using:
Domain\username followed by the password.
I'd like to authenticate with just the email address and password.
I've googled, but can only find a way to change it for OWA and not outlook
or any other client.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards
