I disabled a user in AD Users & Computes. Veritas 8.0 with Exchange add in does a nightly backup. About a week after disabling the user, Veritas reported that the backup technically failed because it could not access that user's mail box. The question is why did it complain a week later? Does disabling a user with Exchange attributes cause the mailbox to be unavailable also? If so, why did it take a week?
