That’s SOP here, and I suspect most places. As by former boss was fond of
saying, “They just want what they want, when they want it.” Sometimes it’s
hard to treat them like adults when they seem determined to behave like
preschoolers. ☺

Do cha just love it when the user suggests the solution? Then you have to
unravel the actual business need and figure out the right solution without
stepping on toes.

In which case I would ask if they need to be able to send email as a part of
the requirement so that you can implement an appropriate solution and move
forward accordingly. If they only need to receive email, the forward does that
while “restricting them to only email access” as requested. ☺
You can also always go the route of restricting logins to a specific machine
using the “Log On To” setting in AD and just pick a bogus machine name so that
it doesn’t exist. I don’t believe that would stop them from accessing share
data if they tried to map shares however.

I don't make the decisions, they send a request I comply.

That said, I have to question why they would want to continue providing access
to email. If there is some reason this person might legitimately need to
continue receiving these emails, I’d create a new contact and just forward
email to whatever external address they choose rather than actively allowing
them to continue full send/receive functionality.

Our remote sessions are VPN controlled. Webmail access however is not. I
would just remove the user from VPN permissions.

Hi all
Got a strange request , a user will be leaving the company and they want him to
ONLY have access to his exchange account, so no RDP, TS, desktop logons etc..
If this is possible, what is the EASIEST way to go about it?
