Unable to delete exchange Mailbox

[winterwendigo]

Server 2000 running Exchange 2000

The mailbox does not have the user in AD at all and when I right click on it all the options to purge or reconnect is grayed out.

How do I delete this mail box??????

Running Cleanup agent did not get rid of the mail boxes that do not have an account on Active Directory.

Do you have any other Ideas?

 

[Davetoo]

You must first run Cleanup Agent, then the mailbox should show up with a red mark on it and be available to be purged.

You're saying that's not happening?

Yes that is what I am saying, they are still not showing up red.

It is possible that the ADC isn't working so ESM hasn't noticed / clean up won't be able to work.

Try running setup in the ADC folder inside Exchange 2000 SP3.

I will have to confess my ignorance, what type of setup are you talking about in the ADC folder.

Please walk me through that.
