First of all, I know this is a strange, but we're in a strange situation with this previous IT person. Here's the story, me and the previous IT person were the only 2 IT people in my company. Then I left the company about an year ago because I got another job, leaving the other IT person as the only IT person. When I left he changed my dashboard account active, but as read only. So I have read only and he has full access. Which makes sense because I'm no longer with the company at that point.
Then the owner calls me about 2 months ago because unfortunately the IT person is sick, and he's been in a hospital for almost an year, and never coming back to the company. Owner asks me to disable the IT person's AD account and email etc. All standard IT security stuff.
Now the problem is, even though I can login to dashboard, I'm only a read only admin, which means I can't do anything, and remove the previous IT person's account from dashboard. The good thing is, since I have access to the domain, I could reset his AD account password, then login as the previous IT person, then select forgot password, and then login as the previous IT person. Then give my account full access, then log out. Log back in as my account, which has full access now, and delete the previous IT person's account. The previous IT person also has a Gmail account which has full access to dashboard. So he has the company email and Gmail accounts.
But the question is, when I delete his account from dashboard, he will get an email notification on his Gmail account right? Is there a way for it not to do the email notification? Since I'm changing his AD password, even if he has company email on his phone, he wouldn't know the new password.
Again, I know this sounds sketchy, but the owner wants to do this.
