Thanks for the reply. That's the conclusion I'd come to, but I was hoping someone with a bigger brain than mine would prove me wrong :-)

I don't believe you can't set this as a default with the native tools. You
would need to use some custom provisioning to do this.

Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: POP3 on Exchange 2003

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.
