Disable user from archiving

I was sent this in response to a gfi archiver user license count...I just don't know how to do it. We're using Windows 2003 Activer Directory and Exchange 2003

'License count is performed by doing an LDAP Query against the active directory that searches out any mail enable user object that has the mail property configured.. For any mailbox the user does not wish to archive, they can disable it from archiving which will in turn lessen the license count to the appropriate number they wish to have archived.'

How do I do this?

You would need to get the Office ADM pack and see whether the customized configuration of Outlook, Exchange you want can be achieved.

Which office version do you have?

IMO, outlook will be doing the "LDAP Query against the active directory" multiple times for configuring the check-name, name-resolutions and few other address-book related activites.

So if you are forcing Outlook not to talk to AD, but only to the Exchange-server...then this will be like restricting the default functionality of the Outlook....

work-around:
You can check with the GFI team for any documented suggestion?
