I created 1 user in AD and created mail box in exchange 2010 server. We implemented password policy for changing password in 45 days.

I was having crunch on licenses so, I deleted AD user and did not delete his mail box, so that he can access his mailbox.

Now, The questions are : How can I change his password? How can I prevent his password from expiring?

Remember that I have deleted his AD user.

    You can't. Without an AD user account you have nothing to authenticate to. You won't be able to access that mailbox

    Also in most cases deleting the AD user and leaving the exchange mailbox won't help any licensing problem. In most situations a user accessing an exchange mailbox needs both a windows CAL and an exchange CAL. Jul 5, 2015 at 11:45

That is impossible. Microsoft Exchange simply does not work without Active Directory. If you deleted user in Active Directory, mailbox becames disconnected - without any user to authenticate against.

The correct answer to this question is to either acquire more licenses or switch to a platform that you can afford.
