There are other avenues to take as well (contractor). We use whatever email address they give us and create mail enabled user accts if they need network access or just contacts if they don't.
Thanks for your insight though. I've met some characters on newsgroups, and you're definitely in that category. Another question for Chris or anyone else that can help. Default mailbox stores when running Enterprise edition E2K - can they be removed or atleast flagged for the "do not mount" feature as long as the SA's mailbox is on another store? I currently take full advantage of the multiple store feature and have users categorized by location at facilities with their own exchange and alphabetically on my two main field office mbx servers. Other admins who have been delegated permissions to manipulate exchange data have a penchant for 'accidentally' putting users on the wrong store. The fact that I have 11 default mailbox stores that show up in the pull down when "Exchange Tasking" a user acct doesn't help. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Scharff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, August 17, 2002 12:48 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Global Address Lists I'll give you my favorite dumbass example of political reasons to use restricted ABVs.[1] Executives don't want to be e-mailed by lowly forklift operator, so they create an ABV where forklift operator can only see other lowly peons, and their immidiate supervisors in the GAL.. executives get a GAL view where they can see everyone. That being said, there are plenty of legitimate reasons one might want to use restricted ABVs in a corporate environment.. like when contractors are brought on for a project and need only basic e-mail access, and giving them access to the entire GAL represents a security risk. [1] _Thankfully_ this example is not something I was ever forced to implement for my or any other company, but I know it's been done. -----Original Message----- From: Crump, Jay To: Exchange Discussions Sent: 8/16/2002 5:28 PM Subject: RE: Global Address Lists I too have multiple views, but did not think of the hosting angle. Political forces definitely are a pain in the outbox. Can't you hide system objects? or are you alluding to something other than objects that should not be recipients showing up in plain view for all the world to see. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
