i have disabled accounts on exchange 2003 but when you start a new email there name still appears in the global list, my boss wants them gone since they are not with the company. does anyone know how to stop them from showing up?

thanks

Disabling the accounts will still leave them on the global mail list and even on any "mailing lists" they are still assigned to. Disabling only makes it so they can not login. Mail continues to be accepted when sent to those addresses and will begin to pile up until the account limits are reached.

If the employees are no longer with the company, you need to delete the accounts, not just disable them.

for legal reasons, in case you need to retrieve the emails in the months following the ex-employee's departure, I would normally only hide them from the Exchange list rather than delete them straight away. Unless you have total confidence in your backup system in which case then, yes go ahead and delete.
