disconnected mailbox does not appear in "disconnected mailbox" node

[DaphneVink]

Hi,

When I disable a usermailbox the Exchange properties are removed from the AD object, leaving a disconnected mailbox in Exchange. But this mailbox only appears in the "disconnected Mailbox" node after a long time (hours or day(s)).
Also when I use the cmdlet:
Get-MailboxStatistics -Server <servername> | where { $_.DisconnectDate -ne $null } | select DisplayName,DisconnectDate

I get no results.

I think this might be caused by replication of AD, replication in Exchange or some maintenance schedule.

Can anyone help me which settings cause these disconnected mailboxes not to appear in the "disconnected mailbox" node in EMC immendiately or soon after disabling the mailbox?

I want to be able to reconnect the mailbox immediately after disabling it in case of an error.

thanks a lot in advance,

Daphne Vink

Daphne,

Try to run the following command and then look again:

cleanup-mailboxdatabase

Strange but im having the same problem right now. I found that command but when i run it i get the error, the operation could not be performed because the object "mailbox name" could not be found on domain controller "domain controller name".

Any help will be great as i need to retrive these mailboxes asap.

Hi,

try clean-mailboxdatabase and then press (enter) then you will be asked for the identity of the database. If a space is between it place it between quotes.

Hi,

Made a mistake again, it's late ;-) You need to do it without the quotes:

clean-mailboxdatabase -identity Mailboxdatabase
