Greetings, everyone: Sorry for the off-topic post, but I've asked this on the E2K3 mailing list and didn't get any answers. At any rate, it's as much an AD challenge as an Exchange one.
I'm working on the final stages of an Exchange 2003 migration, and it turns out we're going to have to enable POP3 on our mailbox servers to support a handful of applications that were written for the Exchange 5.5 environment. Enabling POP3 isn't difficult, and neither is configuring our FE servers to support it, but doing this on a limited scale seems to be a bit of a challenge. What I'd like to do is enable POP3 on the mailbox servers, but ensure that only the handful of AD accounts used by the apps have it enabled at the user object level. I'd also like to ensure that all new users created ahave POP3 disabled by default. I can do a bulk edit of all existing users to disable POP3 using ADModify or some other method, but how can I ensure that all new accounts have POP3 disabled by default when they're created? Once you select for an Exchange mailbox to be created while creating the account, it comes up with all Exchange features enabled, including POP3. Once I enable POP3 on the mailbox server, I've opened Pandora's box. Relying on the delegates to disable POP3 after they create the account isn't feasible. Any insight anyone can offer would be appreciated.
