hrm... but if the manager already has a mailbox, then this method won't work... each account can have one and only one mailbox (a mailbox is an attribute of the object, in this case a user).
Could do the following though... 1. disable the user object of the person leaving. 2. grant the manager permission to the mailbox... this would require the manager to connect to the mailbox and copy the contents to their mailbox.... may be a better way to do this part. jeff e. -----Original Message----- From: Hunter, Lori [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 01, 2002 2:41 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Copying or merging a user's mailbox with another The user ID can be deleted without affecting the mailbox, and you should never delete a mailbox until it's been sitting about a month anyway. Just hook up the manager's account to the mailbox for awhile, then let it go. -----Original Message----- From: Anthony Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 8:58 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Copying or merging a user's mailbox with another Hi, I am running Exchange 2000 SP2. I need a way of copying the contents of one user's mailbox to another, on the same server. Preferably, specifying a folder in the destination mailbox for the old contents. The deal is, when people leave the company, their manager wants their old email. The admins want to delete the user id and mailbox for obvious reasons. We would like to do this on the server as opposed to on the client with pst files... Any ideas?
