Best way to disable account

Post by J Smit » Thu, 30 Sep 1999 04:00:00



We have 100 users set up. Currently, 50 are using their accounts, with other
to come online soon.

I'd like to make the accounts not in use inactive, so that they are not
recieving email that is actually not yet being checked.

What is the best way to do this? Please don't say delete the account,
because I don't want to have to type in all their info again as they come
online!!

Thanks!

Modify their SMTP e-mail address and hide them from GAL.

If you're running Exchange 5.5 visit each of the mailboxes, display
their property page and either

1) select the "Limits" tab and uncheck the "Use information store
defaults" and then check the "Prohibit send and receive" boxes. Place
a value of "1" in the edit box. This will bounce all messages (except
possibly the very first tiny message). This will work for ALL mail
systems: internal and external.

2) select the "Delivery Restrictions" tab and select the "List" button
in the "accept messages from" frame. Then use the "Modify" button and
place the Exchange administrator mailbox into the list. This will work
ONLY for internal mail. SMTP message, for instance, will not be
affected.

In any case, you'll also want to hide the mailbox from the GAL. That's
on the "Advanced" tab.

1. Best ways to backup and restore Exchange 2000

Can someone point me to some updated articles on how to backup Exchange
2000, and how to restore?

I've been reading conflicting views:

1. Can or cannot NTBackup do online backups? My backups always reports
pub1.edb and priv1.edb as "skipped" (on a Win2000 SP2 server and Exchange
2000 SP server). What else needs to be backed up? What is the difference
between the M: drive being backed up, the information store, and the
database files in C:? Do they ALL have to be backed up to get a successful
retore?

2. Is there any documentation on restoring a) when just some mailboxes need
to be restored b) when Exchange has stopped functioning and needs to be
restored (re-installed?) c) when the whole server or HDD crashes and
everything needs to be restored.

I can only find this boring reference from Microsoft
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q258/2/43.ASP?LN=EN-...
n&FR=0

Thanks.
