Exchange 2007 Employee Termination

What is the correct way to disable accounts with the New Exchange 2007 environment.

With Exchange 2003 and Active Directory so closely integrated, it was as easy as going into AD and disabling the user. With 2007, disabling the user in AD does nothing to the Exchange Mailbox. Should I Disable the mailbox in EMC 2007?

Next time, should I start with EMC 2007, disable the Mailbox 1st, will that automatically disable the account in AD?

What is the best way to disable accounts with the new Exchange 2007 environment?

For now, there will be no reassignment. A replacement employee will be here soon, but for now no Manager or anyone else needs access to the terminated employee's account. All emails should continue to arrive to the user's mailbox. No bounce back messages of any kind.

I don't disable accounts.
Change the password to something else and then hide it from the GAL. That will ensure email flows without any NDRs.
