Problem/Query: Hi team. Hope everyone is doing great.

Is there an app / script or any way to automate converting regular User with ID mailbox to a Mail-In database?

We have a couple of dozens of databases which were created as a standard user mailbox, but as per the definition, they should be Mail In database.

The automation should handle Unregistering the user, removing it from ID Vault, maintaining the mail rule(s) in the database, etc.

Is that currently feasible or do I need to convert them one by one by hand?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best,

Elvis

There is no built-in tool provided on that purpose. If someone scripted that for himself, I cannot say.

It is not that long to do by hand, and it’s more reliable.

  1. Keep a backup of you Names
  2. Create the Mail-in documents one by one, it will takes 2 min per doc : the full name of the mail-in db shall be the same than the fullname of the user (with OU and Org).
  3. Delete all users accounts : either by SUPPR+F9 (if you want to leave them in the Groups), either by standard user removal BUT having unchecked mailbox deletion.
  4. You may check that the Owner of each mail database is still the same as the fullname given in the mail-in doc
  5. That’s all ?
