RE: Employee Departures

[John Matteson]

Title: Message

I can delete the user's NT account without getting rid of the mailbox. I can change the properties of the mailbox and assign it to another user if I want to, I don't have to get rid of it.   But once I get rid of the mailbox, all the messages are recycled into free electrons.   John Matteson; Exchange Manager Geac Corporate Infrastructure Systems and Standards (404) 239 - 2981 With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. - RFC 1925 -----Original Message----- From: John Riley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2001 10:13 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Employee Departures A a neophite does all this discuss mean that when a user is deleted as a domain user and also is deleted as an exchange recipient his stored messages don't disappear also?   JRiley ----- Original Message ----- From: John Matteson To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2001 8:14 AM Subject: RE: Employee Departures We use Enterprise administrator to handle the NT side of things. The NT accounts are disabled at the same time as the Exchange mailboxes and we run reports about every 90 days to nuke the NT accounts.   John Matteson; Exchange Manager Geac Corporate Infrastructure Systems and Standards (404) 239 - 2981 With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. - RFC 1925 -----Original Message----- From: David N.

Either that or cultivate good friends in payroll who will tell you when someone departs.   John M. -----Original Message----- From: William Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 5:54 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Employee Departures What is your general policy for the time between a employee being let go and the removal of his mailbox? I just finished an audit of the size of the disk usage on my exchange server and noticed that there are at least 2GB of old users who have left the company. William L.
