RE: Hidden accounts still getting mail?
Here is what I do to disable a mailbox: 1) Remove NT account and any other accounts on permissions tab 2) Remove all SMTP addresses 3) Remove mailbox from all DL's 4) Hide from address book 5) Set delivery restrictions on mailbox to only allow an admin mailbox to send to it. Hope this helps.

RE: Outlook 2000 Hanging
A suggestion to add to William's, is to not configure any Personal Folder service in the newly created MAPI profile. Just try and get the user into Exchange first. If it works then you know then problem lies with the .pst or another service other than Exchange Server. My experience has been that my lovely users think of Personal Folders as dumping grounds. Over time I have had users with .pst files in excess of 1.5GB and it would take Outlook 30-45mins to come up and sometimes not at all.

RE: Exchange 5.5 Emergency
Chris, If you are only worried about getting the mailbox content just use your D.R. server (if ya have one) and restore only the IS. The server name will be different which is OK. I think Backup Exec only cares about identical server names when you restore the Dir.edb. After the restore, start the IS and then go to the Server and run the Consistency Adjuster and select All Inconsistencies. That should get your mailboxes into the directory. After that I would run Exmerge and get all the contents exported to .psts.

RE: Microsoft Exchange Move Server Wizard
Title: Microsoft Exchange Move Server Wizard FWIW- I have done a number of MSW's and Exmerge migrations andI can't tell you which one is better. My decision is usually dependent on other factors: *not listed in order of importance and certainly not complete* 1) What isthetimeline for getting to acommon Org? A short timeline would push the MSW option or a 3rd party util (Bindview, NetIQ, or Kevin Snook's migration utility??). An open timeline gives you Exmerge as a viable choice. 2) The size and complexity of Exchange deployments often drives you towards onemethod over the other. IE 1 org multiple sites vs. 1 org 1 site. 3) MSW is faster than Exmerge. I have done a complete migration of one site(~900 mailboxes) to another site in a different Org in just under 3hours. Not including the rebuild ofits directory. 4) Exmerge and other 3rd party utilities allow for a "controlled" migration plan. 5) MSW does not export mailbox contents to temp .pst's so there is less of a need for large amounts of free disk space. These are just a few off the top of my head and others on the list will probably chime in too. As always a good suggestion is to read the whitepaperson these utilities.They do a fairly good job on describing what their strengths and weaknesses are.

RE: Test your Exchange Knowledge(help)
Didn't you pose this same question a week or two ago?? The difference in your original question was that your Sendmail and Exchange deployments were sharing the same domain name for mailbox addressing. Is that still true? If so, you will probably need to customize your Sendmail environment because you are using the same domain name for both Exchange mailboxes and Sendmail mailboxes. Try looking at either changing the site addressing for your Exchange deployment or try looking at using the virtuser table feature in Sendmail www.sendmail.org .
