Hi Jorge, I did run the AD account cleanup tool and it found no duplicate account's prior to deleting the extra user accounts that I created to have a one to one mappings to the mailboxes that were mapped to a single user account in Exchange 5.5. The problem I had is that I did not anticipate that it would also delete the five primary account's as well and did not have a recent back up. I only backed up the mail of the additional mailboxes that I was deleting using Exmerge just in case some one still needed the voice mail and mail messages in those mailboxes. ( I lost several hours of email, fortunately only five accounts were affected ).
The reason that we had extra mailboxes associated with the user accounts was that Unity requires a mailbox for each voice mail extension and sales and marketing had multiple extensions and voice mail boxes shared by the team members. Thanks for the tip and taking the time to reply. Jose :-) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Coleman, Hunter Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 10:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Cisco Call Manager / Unity / Blackberry and Active Directory 2003 Charlie is correct on the ADC possibility. Check your configuration agreement's Deletion tab to see if you have it set up to delete the windows account when the mailbox gets deleted. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Charlie Kaiser Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 10:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Cisco Call Manager / Unity / Blackberry and Active Directory 2003 It depends on how you've set things up. Unity (at least the 4.0x versions) will allow you to delete an account from AD when you delete the subscriber's VM mailbox. I set our Unity config to never allow this. I seem to remember that the ADC also allowed 2-way synch, which would allow you to delete an associated account when you delete a mailbox. It's been a while since I used the tool, and it's not installed in my testlab anymore, so I can't check, but I _think_ the ADC is a distinct possibility. Someone who has used it in the last year or so can probably verify... ********************** Charlie Kaiser MCSE, CCNA Systems Engineer Essex Credit / Brickwalk 510 595 5083 ********************** > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Medeiros, > Jose > Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 9:24 AM > To: [email protected]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [ActiveDir] Cisco Call Manager / Unity / Blackberry and > Active Directory 2003 > > Greetings, > > During an Exchange 2003 migration at a startup I was previously > working for , I had an issue with several accounts that were on a > Exchange 5.5 server that had multiple mailboxes associated with the > same user account.
