Open ADUC

Locate the account

  • Reset the password to anything ( incase if someone enables it at least password is changed), make sure to filter all event logs from Domain controllers
  • Disable the account
  • Go to Exchange advance
  • Mailbox rights
  • Locate "Self" and make sure
  • Full mailbox permissions and Associated external account is Enabled
  • Hide the account from GAL

Now security is happy account is disabled, your boss is happy, account still getting mails sent to this account, direct the mails to someone else if you like.
