In "Script User Account and Mailbox Creation" (September 2002, http://www.exchangeadmin.com, InstantDoc ID 25843), I demonstrate how to use scripts to create Active Directory (AD) user accounts and Exchange 2000 Server mailboxes. Several readers asked how to delete Exchange 2000 mailboxes and how to delete AD user accounts and mailboxes simultaneously; this article addresses both tasks.

I won't repeat the relevant background information that I cover in "Script User Account and Mailbox Creation," but I will follow the structure of that article so that you can more clearly see the consistency inherent in email-enabled user-account management tasks.

This article presents a script that performs email-enabled user-account deletion tasks. Like the script for creating user accounts and mailboxes, this script relies on Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI), Collaborative Data Objects for Exchange Management (CDOEXM), VBScript, and Windows Script Host (WSH) 5.6. . . .
