I've fount a great problem here which has caused me no end of problems. I
have a workaround for this now but does anyone have a permanent solution?
(This happens on Exchange 2000 + 2003 with both Outlook XP and Outlook 2003
clients)
Here's how to recreate the problem:
- Create 2 mail enabled accounts in AD, Bob and Mary
- Add Mary to Bob's delegates list
- Delete Mary's mailbox (not the Windows login account)
- You now cannot remove Mary from Bob's delegates list. Whilst you may be
able to add more people to Bob's delegates list you will not be able to set
permissions for them (the name will appear in the list with 'None'
permissions for all folders)
- You also cannot remove any other names from Bob's delegates list
The only solution I have found is to mail-enable the offending account (in
this case Mary) and then delete this name from Bob's delegates list.
What would happen if I had deleted Mary's Windows login account whilst the
name was still listed in Bob's delegates list? Would I EVER have been able
to remove that name, seeing as createing a brand new 'Mary' login account
would contain a completely different SSID?
I don't have a suitable test environment to test this out, I'm just thankful
that our policy is to disable the accounts of ex-employees as opposed to
delteing them. Can anyone shed any light on a solution to this problem other
than mail-enabling all 'problem' accounts?
Thanks,
Mitchell
