More info?)
You can use NET USE or Map A Network Drive in Explorer. Supply the
username in the form of DOMAINNAME\USERNAME and the domain password.
It is not necessary to match the workgroup name.
As for Exchange, as long as you supply the information properly (see
above), you should have no issues connecting. Note that if you use
RPC over HTTP (on Exchange 2003), you must specify the
Username/Password every time you start Outlook.
