Disabling flow to Exchange email account without deleting data or user
Hi Everyone,
I am not sure if this is possible but is there a way to stop new email from being recieved from a single email account on Exchange 2007 but still retain the AD user and Exchange Data.
I would like this to appear to the outside world as if the account no longer exists however if I disable or delete the user or email account in exchange or AD I only have 30 days to migrate the data off the exchange server into a PST or something to preserve the data.
Management would like to review all the users email data but this will not occur for at least 3 months.
I am trying to save myself the headache of logging in as the user configuring outlook then moving his 300+ files and sub-folders in outlook full of data to a PST file manually.
Please let me know if anyone has a quick fix option for this.
thanks,
TheSonicGod

Two points
=Yes, you can achieve the auto response to take place from server OR client side.
=> W.r.t 30 days - this is default, you can change to even 180 days.

The best way is to create a PST.
