Let me restate this just a little. The issue are due to Exchange Dev having an incomplete understanding of how people do things in the enterprise and assuming that the only time a disabled account could have a mailbox is because it is a resource mailbox so instead of having an attribute for it they assume and then after assuming run into all sorts of issues with their assumption.
>From our side, it means that we have to adjust how we deprovision accounts to properly populate the directory so Exchange doesn't get its panties in a bunch. And yes, enough of these will get your Exchange server's panties in a bunch. Lots of folks (primarily from MS) like to say these are meaningless and can't hurt anything but I have seen multiple cases where they caused store hangs and queues. I actually got an MS person to admin they were a huge issue about 2-3 years ago but couldn't get the person to give me an email stating that. I understood completely. The interesting thing is that you would at least expect ADUC with the Exchange extensions to properly disable these accounts but nope, we have to handle it manually. But that is ok, we really shouldn't be using ADUC to manage users in larger orgs anyway. No business rules, no decent logging, too many people with too many permissions: you want to use provisioning tools, either self written or purchased. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 10:59 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Automating NoMas Correct your deprovisioning process. Those issues are due to incorrectly setting values on mailbox enabled users. Basically bad data is going in the directory and then you are manually swinging back and correcting it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harding, Devon Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 9:18 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Automating NoMas How can I prevent the Event ID error 9548(MSExchangeIS) from happening? I normally use NoMas to fix em, but I want to prevent them from happening. Would it be possible to create a script that runs like every morning and perform exactly what NoMas does for every child domain I have?
