Lost email address!!

[VRIT]

Im currently running a w2k/exchange 2k network with over 500 users.

Besides the primary email address, some users have an additional address, which may not correspond to their name.

Someone has created themselves an additional email address and I want to remove it, however all I know is the email address which is blx@mydomain.com. How can I track it down

Thanks

One way would be to go to Exchange System Manager, drill down to the mailboxes under your server, and see who is accessing the blx mailbox.

The problem is that blx isnt a mailbox in its own right, its an additional address to another mailbox.

Thanks for your suggestion, but I couldnt find it.

Regards,

try this from your DC:

ldifde -f searchfile.txt -s DomainControllerName -r "(objectclass=*)"

(replace DomainControllerName with your DC name) - this will print out a large file (searchfile.txt), but you can search the file for BLIX. When you find it, scroll up a bit and look for either the MAIL entry (which will give you the main smtp address of the offender) or the Directory entry for his actual name.

Oh, sorry, thought someone had created a second mailbox. My question is how did a normal user create an alias for themselves?
