Deleting and restoring Microsoft Exchange mail contacts

NOTE: As long as an account definition for an identity is valid, the identity retains the mail contact that was created by it. If the account definition assignment is removed, the mail contact created through this account definition, is deleted.

When you delete a mail contact, the Do not display in address lists option is enabled and the mail contact is no longer shown in address books.

To delete a mail contact

  1. In the Manager, select the Active Directory > Mail contacts category.

  2. Select the mail contact in the result list.

  3. Click in the result list.

  4. Confirm the security prompt with Yes.

To restore a mail contact

  1. In the Manager, select the Active Directory > Mail contacts category.

  2. Select the mail contact in the result list.

  3. Click in the result list.

Configuring deferred deletion

By default, mail contacts are finally deleted from the database after 30 days. During this period you have the option to reactivate the mail contacts. A restore is not possible once deferred deletion has expired.

In the Designer, you can set an alternative delay on the EX0MailContact table. For more information about configuring deferred deletion, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

Microsoft Exchange mail-enabled distribution groups

You can email-enable universal security groups and universal distribution groups to distribute messages to a group of recipients.
