Disabled accounts and Exchange

Well, being relatively new to the world of Exchange, I was surprised to find it took more than a single click to resolve situations where with a disabled mailbox enabled account being re-enabled. I was expecting that once re-enabled, the mailbox would also be set to work, but it turns out there is a little more legwork needed.

Here is the Microsoft KB article on it, which is a bit windy. However, I found the comments at amset.info a little easier to digest.

This is probably not a big deal for most organizations, but since we are also using DirXML and GroupWise doesn't behave this way, I can see some headaches when NDS/eDir accounts are disabled previous to Exchange account access being transferred if needed.
