MORE INFORMATION
After the service pack has been installed and the registry has been modified, the new dialog box replaces the secondary credentials dialog box. This means that the new dialog box is displayed in the following scenarios:
 * When you attempt to log on to an existing Exchange Server profile that resides on a domain that is different than the desktop domain.
 * When you try to set up a new profile on a different domain.
 * When you set the Logon network security setting to none, even if you are in the correct domain.

The new dialog box displays the following message: <pre class="fixed_text">  This account is currently restricted.
