Yeah, I just create an OU for them. The other nice thing about this is that all the GUIDs on your network still point to a name, keeping security permissions pretty and intact.

Earlier this week I deleted a user who no longer works for our company. As the typical story goes, today they decided to bring him back on as contract. We use Exchange 2003. His email account is still there, just has the red X on it showing it as "going to be deleted" and his user is no longer showing in AD. Is there a way to get his profile back? Will I have to create a whole new user and email or is there a way to connect a new user to an old email. I've done some searching on Google but I'm having a problem getting the right search string. Any help would be excellent! Kelli ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
