Thoughts on old mailboxes
Our Environ is a Windows 2012 R2 domain, 2008 FFL/DFL and we have exchange 2013.
When a user leaves, we of course disable them in AD. I know we still have to disable them in Exchange as well, but when disabled, the user still shows in the GAL.
I'm wondering about the possibility of creating a new DB named archive and migrating my disabled users there versus exporting to .pst and saving.
What are your thoughts on that? Just migrating disabled users to another DB?
Thanks
Cliff
