I run an SBS 2003 server for an office. I want to move their email off SBS
and back to the ISP, but leave their PC connected to the domain so they have
access to shared drives and WSUS. How do I delete thir Exchange account
without deleting them completely?

By the way...all the user's email cones in using the POP3 connector.

.....thanks for any suggestions.....brian

Cris,
If I disable the PoP3 connector, the user's email account is till in
Exchange so other exchange users will send email to the exchange account.
Maybe the only way is for me to migrate everyone off of exchange at the same
time. (I was hoping to do it in phases since it's difficult to get at
everyone's PC at the same time)

We are moving off of Exchange and eventually off SBS since the staff cannot
take advantage of it's features. This is entirely due to the way the office
staff works. I am planning on replacing the SBS with Home Server, Vale or
Aurora in the next 6-12 months. (the old SBS box is is due to be replaced
anyway) This will give them file sharing and backup which is all they really
want.
