There is a KB article that gives a registry switch to restrict access to the server. This could yield a batch file that roughly looks like: <stop all services> <run regedit to import that .reg file for disabling> <restart all services>
And, of course, access could be given back just as easily by doing the reverse. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Brandon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, December 09, 2001 7:22 PM Subject: Disabling access to an Exchange 5.5 server programmatically > Hi folks, > > I wish to create a batch file which would allow us to disable user access > to an Exchange 5.5 server.
