Automap is Microsoft avoiding actually implementing proper ways for us to 
administer adding mailboxes to Outlook. Automap doesn't work if you control 
access via a security group. Who the hell controls access to a mailbox per-user?

(If there actually is a way and I'm an idiot, do tell)

Subject: [Exchange] Full Access mailbox stays in Outlook, can't be removed.



I had a case today where a user was granted full access to a mailbox.  
Automapping kicked in and the mailbox appeared in the user's Outlook client.  
The user no longer needed access so I removed the full access.  The mailbox 
didn't go away and I was unable to remove it from Outlook.  This caused me to 
search for a solution and I did find several such as using ADSIedit and others 
using the EMS.  I used the EMS and put in:



# Add-MailboxPermission -Identity JeroenC -User 'Mark Steele' -AccessRight 
FullAccess -InheritanceType All -Automapping $false



And it worked.



My question is that these solutions are almost 3 years old.  Why is this still 
a problem?  Seems that if automapping puts it there it should also be able to 
remove it.
