Mon 06.02.08: Run Script as at job to disable terminated users mailboxes.

We have a procedure where after a user is terminated their AD User object is moved into a terminated users OU. Then they are removed from all security/distribution groups.

We needed a way to have their Mailbox disabled as well. So we setup a at script that does this.


To run the script, you need to use the following command:

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -PSConsoleFile "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\bin\exshell.psc1" -command ". 'C:\ps-scripts\terminated_users.ps1'”

This will runn the script termiated_users.ps1 as an Exchange PowerShell script.

Here is what the termiated_users.ps1 script contains:

get-mailbox -OrganizationalUnit "myfamily.int/Corp/Users/Terminations" | disable-mailbox -WhatIf


Basically the script grabs all the mailbox objects in the Terminations OU, then disables them. You will want to remove the -WhatIf after you verify that it is only affecting the accounts you want affected.
