whenever i make a new account it has all the features enabled by default but I only want MAPI as default feature for any newly created account. thanks

I am assuming this is Exchange 2007/2010. You can't disable those by default as far as I know. You can incorporate a script in your new user creation and run the set-casmailbox to set all features to FALSE that you don't want enabled.Exchange & Powershell Geek MCITP: Enterprise Messaging Administrator 2007
