We are trying to roll out Exchange Server 2000 at our office but we are
having a problem creating a very important account we have on our old
mail server (service@) When we try to create the user "service" we get
the following error msg:

"windows cannot create the new user object becuase the pre-windows 2000
logon name service is already in use. select another name, and then try
again"

I assume that this is reserved word or something for AD user accounts.
We need to be able to send and receive emails w/ "service@", how can we
get this to work on exhange 2K?
