  1. Crazy hacks? How about this one.

    We decided that we didn't want anyone being present with a Notes/Domino logon prompt, mainly because users mistook it for their NT logon and just got frustrated with it reappearing.

    So we download our Exchange address book every night into a separate Notes NAB, match the users to the standard Exchange to Notes NAB provided by MS, and update the user names of all 65000 users with their NT logon names.

    We then use IIS as a front end to our Intranet without anonymous access, so IIS passes Notes the current users NT logon details. Notes finds the NT logon in the (cascaded) address book, converts it to the real (Exchange) name and the user is happy and we have a real name to use within the Notes environment.

    Sounds complicated but it works amazingly well. And not a logon prompt in sight!
