SYMPTOMS
When you start Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 or Microsoft Outlook 2002 Service Pack 3 (SP3) after you upgrade from an earlier version of Outlook, you are prompted to enter your user name and password. The user name and domain name that you used when you previously logged on to Microsoft Exchange Server are not displayed in the dialog box that appears on the screen.

If the Interactive Logon: Do not display last user name local security policy setting is enabled, your user name and domain information is not stored in the Windows registry and user name and domain name that you used when you previously logged on to Microsoft Exchange Server are not displayed in the dialog box that appears on your screen.
