We want to restrict access to a specific mailbox to only the person assigned to the mailbox and a specific security admin. We do not want exchange admins or domain admins to access the mailbox. I realize I can select the 'Deny' box on the security tab from A/D, but the problem is that if the...

Well, I found a 'solution'. I created a new userid/mailbox called something like #DistListMonitor. I added that userid/mailbox to EVERY distribution list in our GAL. I added the mailbox to my Outlook and changed the Inbox view so it groups by the "To:" field. I'm updating a spreadsheet with...

We're trying to tackle a project to reduce the number of email distribution lists that are in the GAL. I have been able to determine lists with no members and list owners have been contacted to see if any of their lists are no longer needed. Is there a way to log usage of a distribution list...

Sorry, I forgot it is Exchange 2003. Steve

I was tasked to delete some obsolete SMTP addresses from user mailboxes. Is there a way to list a userid/name and all the SMTP addresses assigned to each mailbox on a specific mail server? Thanks! Steve

Good to see they export the data in a consistent format. Looks like I got what I need. Thanks so much to all for your support. Steve

Is there a way to convert the CSVDE output values for the CreatedDate? It shows a value that I can't figure out how to convert to a valid date. Thanks!

I'm struggling trying to create a report from ADS data that contains some basic userid info. I need to run the pgm from something like a .bat pgm and it will output the results to a .txt or other format file. I don't want to run this interactivly since I plan on setting it up as a nightly...

Will give this a try this week. I'm in AIX training all week so I'll do my best to get this in. Stay tuned....

I am working with simple exercises right now to self-train myself, so if you do have code for this I would be extremly thankful. To accomplish this I have had to print a listing of groups User1 belongs to then note the groups that User2 has then...UUGH! Mark's our hero! Thanks. Steve

I left out one key item. Both Users already exist. Guess that's important....
