What Happens When a VIU Account Gets Disabled?
Access to VIU accounts, network shares, email, and online resources is disabled. Any email sent to a disabled account will generate an automatic reply. Files and emails in disabled accounts remain intact for 1 year. Data is removed from a disabled account after 1 full year with no activity.
What Happens When a VIU Account Gets Re-enabled?
Access is restored to user accounts and resources. If the account is enabled within 1 year, files and emails are just as they were left, and the password remains unchanged.
