What is the best-practice method for disabling an Exchange 2007 mailbox, such as after a staff member finishes a contract?

Is it enough to simply disable the user's corresponding AD account for that domain, or do additional steps (such as disabling the mailbox itself in Exchange) have to be taken?

Objectives:

  • deny user access to their mailbox
  • not actually delete the mailbox, as the manager or next employee may need access to existing emails in future
  • allow email forwarding to the manager to be used after the mailbox is disabled (actual forwarding, rather than creating an alias)
