RE: [ActiveDir] Exchange 2000 and Disabled User Accounts

If you expire the account as opposed to disable it, they shouldn't generate NDRs.     //SIGNED// ------------------------------------------------ David J. Perdue Network Security Engineer, InDyne Inc  Comm: (805) 606-4597    DSN: 276-4597 ------------------------------------------------   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan DeStefano Sent: Friday, February 25, 2005 09:41 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Exchange 2000 and Disabled User Accounts Is there any way to prevent Exchange from sending NDRs when someone sends a message to a disabled user? The problem is that I am usually given at least a week’s notice to new users and would like to create the new user account in advance so that the morning the user starts I just have to enable the account. If I do this, though, anyone sending a message to any DG to which the user belongs, the sender receives an NDR and subsequently makes a support call.   If there is no way to suppress this behavior, then does anyone have any suggestions? Do I just wait until the morning the user starts before creating the user account? Create the account in advance with a strong, random password?   Thanks in advance,   _________________________   Daniel DeStefano PC Support Specialist   IAG Research 345 Park Avenue South, 12th Floor New York, NY 10010 T. 212.871.5262 F. 212.871.5300   www.iagr.net Measuring Ad Effectiveness on Television   The information contained in this communication is confidential, may be privileged and is intended for the exclusive use of the above named addressee(s).
