Thanks,
Steve.
One last question
do you delete the email box before you delete the account, or
afterwards?
And yes, I have found
out how often mistakes are made via HR. I am going to be doing the same
thing; disable first, then delete after a certain amount of
time.

Deleting Accounts
No; it
doesn't get deleted. I've used the following sub-routine for the same purpose
on our student network. Call it with deletemailbox full path to user -
you'll need to change the servername to match your exchange
server.
What I
normally do for our staff network is run a routine which checks to see if the
user still exists on the payroll database and when they last changed their
password; if they're not on the payroll and they've not changed their password
recently then I use a script to disable the account and move them to a special
OU, adding a comment with the date on which this was done. This makes it easy
to re-enable the account when you find that our HR department has just "lost"
a member of staff (which they do with disturbing regularity!!) and also easy
to just delete them en-masse if they don't get used for a month or
so.

Deleting Accounts
I am re-writing several scripts
to delete accounts. We are running AD Native Mode, with a single
Exchange 2000 Server. When I programmatically delete a user account
(using Windows Scripting Host) does the Exchange email account get deleted
as well? I know a users Exchange email account can not exist without
the AD account, but Im wondering what happens to any messages and data that
exist on the Exchange server?
Thanks in
advance.

[ActiveDir] Additional drivers for W2K printing
I really hope someone can help me understand !! This is my quandry. I have a W2K server which is to be used as a printer server. We have a mixed client base and so I would like use the support for installing additional drivers to allow clients to point and print as the documentation calls it. My first attempt was with a HP Laserjet 4000 but the same problem has occured with numerous other models. The W2K driver is already up and running and prints like a charm. Now I would like to provide the drivers for Win NT and Win 9x clients to use. I downloaded the necessary point and print driver bundle from the HP site, unzipped them and went to install them. I have repeated the procedure now in a 1000 different ways but the additional drivers will not install. I select the HP 4000 under printers, choose to add Additional Drivers, make my selection from the list available (Intel - Windows NT 4.0 or 2000), point the installation to the INF file in the driver directory I just created and then I get an error The printer driver you selected is either not compatible with your current version of windows, or. but it is a driver supplied by HP for Win NT !!! The INF file is not called OEMSETUP.INF but has in this instance the name HP2224p6.INF Do I have to have an OEMSETUP.INF file and if I do why isnt it in the file made available on the HP site ? Please can anyone explain what is going wrong ?!? Any clues, any tips, please !!

RE: [ActiveDir] Additional drivers for W2K printing
Mark, I have seen that happen after making security policy changes, specifically Prevent users from installing printer drivers. Are you trying this as yourself, or as the local administrator account? -Original Message- From: Abbiss, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2003 7:38 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [ActiveDir] Additional drivers for W2K printing I really hope someone can help me understand !!

RE: [ActiveDir] Termminal Services Default Session
2 is the default unless you install TS in application mode and not remote admin mode. If you install in Application mode you need to also install Terminal Services Licensing, unless you are only going to be used a w2k professional workstation to connect since they come with a built in license.
