What you need to know about terminating an employee's email session
Here's information about how to get an employee out of email (Exchange).
| What you can do | How you do it |
| Terminate a session (such as Outlook on the web, Outlook, Exchange active sync, etc.) and force to open a new session | Reset password |
| Terminate a session and block access to future sessions (for all protocols) | Disable the account. For example (in the Exchange admin center or using PowerShell): Set-Mailbox user@contoso.com -AccountDisabled:$true |
| Terminate the session for a particular protocol (such as ActiveSync) | Disable the protocol. For example (in the Exchange admin center or using PowerShell): Set-CASMailbox user@contoso.com -ActiveSyncEnabled:$false |
The above operations can be done in 3 places:
| If you terminate the session here | How long it takes |
| In the Exchange admin center or using PowerShell | Expected delay is within 30 min |
| In the Azure Active Directory admin center | Expected delay is 60 min |
| In an on-premises environment | Expected delay is 3 hours or more |
