A disabled user account stil receives e-mail
When you have a user account disabled in Active Directory the users mailbox still receives e-mail. To end this behavior you need to delete the user account in Active Directory (this also deletes the mailbox) or disabling the mailbox in Exchange Management Console. Disabling the mailbox in EMC actually deletes the mailbox.

Access denied when adding TCP/IP printer port in Windows 2008
You get the following error when adding a printer using a TCP/IP port:
The problem is that you need to “elevate to administrator privileges” (run as administrator) to add a TCP/IP port. I have’nt found any way to do that when adding a printer. The solutions is to logon as administrator in the console and then add the print and TCP/IP port.
Update:
To add a printer as administrator do the following.
1. Open printers in control panel.
2. Right click in the white area. Choose “Run as administrator”/”Add printer…”.
