No, it is castration and it IS a stupid thing to do to Exchange (even if you
could actually do it).
What is the point of spending all the money on Licensing, planning, and
deployment in the first place if you are going to try to turn the key
features off?
You will cost your company MORE money trying to run down this silly path in
the long run. Either scrap Exchange for something lighter and cheaper in
total (Like the e-smith Linux distro and a beefy workstation
www.e-smith.com) that you setup and forget about and run POPmail clients.
Once you do that you might save some money.

Please Mike, it's not castration it's "streamlining".
Really, calendar & journal won't hurt your users or your budget. Don't
worry about it.

Silly wabbit: Trix are for kids!
What you are attempting to do is, in my opinion, absurd. Give your users
Outlook Express as a client, which doesn't have Calendar, Journal, etc, and
use (as someone else suggested) sendmail or some such on the back end. Or
give them Outlook or OWA and let them have the full functionality of the
Exchange server product. Castration works for Oxen, but not for Exchange!

Currently we charge X amount of dollars for set up costs. These costs
include putting the client on the person's work station, giving education on
the OUTLOOK product, setting these users up on exchange... etc. etc.
We plan on still setting these people up but we are going to cut major costs
by using the OWA.

Subject: A streamlined version of an OUTLOOK mailbox
Good morning all,
Because of budget restraints my company is interested in creating
OUTLOOK mailboxes with limited folders. We want the users to be only
able to have the INBOX, DELETED ITEMS, OUTBOX, DRAFTS, CONTACTS and SENT
ITEMS folders. We do not want them to have any other folders such as
JOURNAL, CALENDAR, NOTES etc. etc.
I have run the EXCH32.EXE and deleted the unwanted folders on my OWA
TESTING account but once I open this mailbox up all of the folders
reappear. Is there anyway to achieve what we are trying to achieve?
Regards,
Mike Mitchell
