PS... It's really no problem in GroupWise... Just disassociate the GroupWise account from the eDirectory account in ConsoleOne (effectively turning the GroupWise account into an "External Entity," then reassociate it with a different eDirectory account. It's no problem at all.

He tells me that there's a way that this can be done seamlessly, since their other support compandy did it for them before...

Is there any way to disassociate the exchange mail account from an AD user account, and then reassociate it with another AD user account? 


Of course there is, but not seamlessly. An admin needs to go into
ADU&C and remove the mail attribs from usera and userb, then go to ESM
and associate the orphaned mailbox that belonged to usera to userb. Do
what you want with the orphaned mailbox that was userb. That part is
plain sailing. You need to make sure that the properties of the store
in ESM has Deleted Mailbox Retention set for more than zero.


I'm very new to Exchange, but this sort of thing is really trivial to do in Novell's GroupWise. I'm sort of a fish out of water with Exchange, and I could really use the help, and I don't want to lose this account.



I think you can only do this with the version of GroupWise they sell
on Betazoid.I don't need to tell you that if Mary logs onto a box
using the account "user1" and the local/roaming profile is configured
to point at the email for "user1" or "fred" then Mary is going to get
that email. No amount of technology will get Mary's email on the box
without either telepathy, fingerprint recognition or simple
reconfiguration.


Thanks, 


Everything you posted earlier suggested you wanted this to happen live
and in real time; ie Mary logs on in the morning as user1 and gets
Mary's email, then Fred logs on as user1 in the afternoon and gets
Fred's email with no intervention from either an admin or Doris
Stokes.

This thread is getting a bit too far down the list. If you want to get
more, by all means mail me offline, although I think we're probably
arrived at what you want.

Having gone through your clarification and her ladyship's reply, I
would suggest that your (I think it was yours) idea about Outlook
profiles is the way to go.

The use of "computer accounts" where a specific user account always
logs onto a specific computer, and no other, isn't that rare, although
it is rare (IMO)  in normal working environments.

Multiple MAPI profiles and the setting to prompt for the profile from
a drop down list (available right out of the box in Outlook) would
sort you out here. There is absolutley no other way that I can think
of. There is also the tickbox to "always prompt for credentials" which
you'll need.


PS, i'm English. I got the sarcasm - My reply was actually sarcastic;
subtle eh!
