Fowarding a users email to another account 3

[pharback]

I have an employee that has been let go from the company. He would like to continue getting his email.

How can I do this on the server side?

Thanks

Create a contact with his forwarding email in Exchange.
Then in the Exchange General tab of his Exchange account, forward his mail to the contact.

I'd HIGHLY recommend checking with his and your superiors. Additionally, for CYA I would advise also bouncing a copy to the Exchange account. so shoudl something arise you have a paper trail....

Lemmeno if this is unclear, I can step by step if needed...

In addition to what rliebsch mentioned, also remove all memberships to company distribution groups in addition to reseting his password. Also hide both the user and his contact from the company address book.

Again, this is unusual - company emails should be for company use only (not true in many companies unfort). Someone else in the company should have access to the mailbox in case work related emails come to it from external sources.

If yours and his superiors are ok with the forwarding of mails, have some time limit - 3 Months at most when this will be disabled. More than enough time for him to update his contacts of his new email address.

Open Active Directory Users and Computers:
If you keep your coprorate users in Users go there,
if you have a separate container for corp users, go there.
Even better, if you have a container for Contacts go there...
-right click, New> Contact
Create the new contact. When creating the email account be sure his display name is unique (i.e. can't match his domain account. Click Next
Check Create Exchange Address, then under the space allocated form Email click the Modify Button. Select SMTP, click okay and put the users personal mail address. Click OK. Then Click Next Click finish.
Boom you created an outside contact.

Now find his Domain account. Open it. Click the Exchange General Tab. Click the Delivery Options Button. Select Forwarding Address, Select Foward To, Click Modify. Enter the Unique Name of the Contact you created for this person. Click the Deliver messages to both forwarding address and mailbox.

Click Ok. Done

Now, he will not be able to send as someone@corp.com. So I'd check periodically to find out what he's getting there. I'd also set a 30 day limit on this forwarding service.

Also, I swear there used to be a way to hide the contact from the GAL. I'd hide is contact and his domain accounts.

When you talked about a time frame, Is there a way to set up the time frame within the server.

Thanks
