Outlook running as different windows user

Question

Just encountered a user who in Outlook runs as a different profile abcd01 rather than dcba02. This causes her attatched file to misbehave as user abcd01 is not allowed to touch dcba02.

Is there a way to fix this?

How do I change which user Outlook runs with?

Solution

For your first question, you can grant a user permissions to another mailbox through Active Directory Users and Computers.

For your second question runas should work in this scenario, if Shift + Right Click and "Run as different user" is not appropriate. For example

runas /user:DEATHSTAR\dvader "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE"

Outlook profile or user profile?

User profile! :)

Hmm, should I really have to use this, works fine on other workstations

Are other workstations accessing files their user doesn't have permission to? That's the cause of your 'problem' :)

The wierd thing is that Outlook uses a different user then the logged in one

Any ideas, runas seems to be doing it wrong :S
