With Users&Computers on the AD side, users with Exchange 5.5 mailboxes show the Exchange-related tabs; we can do things like changing storage limits and have the ADC replicate these into the Exchange 5.5 directory. If we use U&C's "Exchange Tasks" to try to delete an Exchange 5.5 mailbox, though, it doesn't manage to do it - the AD entries for the mailbox (HomeMDB attribute and so on) get cleared; nothing changes on the Exchange 5.5 side after the next ADC replication; and on the replication after that the ADC puts the Exchange 5.5 details back in to AD and we're back where we started. I surmise this is because we are allowed to manage properties on a downlevel mailbox, but deletion of a mailbox is not supported across the ADC. Am I right, or have we got our ADC misconfigured? (The aim of the exercise is to have our ADSI tools manage/delete mailboxes without regard to where they might be while we're in the process of moving mailboxes to E2K) Thanks Alan _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
