Hi<br />
<br />
Just really looking for some feedback from IT Pro's/managers on how their companies , manage contractors on email/AD.<br />
<br />
We currently treat them the same as normal employees, but I have been asked to look into some type of identification/separation.<wbr /><br />
<br />
Was think of having a separate OU, different SMTP and possibly setting their AD accounts to expire at the end of their contract (possibly by some email alert to a line manager)<br />
<br />
just wanted some other thoughts<br />
<br />
thanks
