Disconnected Mailboxes RRS feed

  • Question

  • When I disable a mailbox in Exchange 2010 SP1 (will be installing SP3 soon). How long does it take before the mailbox shows up in disconnected mailboxes? Is there a way to safely make the mailbox show up under disconnected mailboxes sooner, not long after I disable the mailbox sooner than the default...?

  • Hi,

    Run Clean-MailboxDatabase “Database Name” on the database where user's mailbox is available to get it effective immediately. Why it is showing immediately is it has to go through the maintenance interval in which the database will be checked for any mailbox which has in disconnected state and then displayed at EMC

  • So basically this command does it do the same thing as in Exchange 2003 in Exchange System Manager when you right clicked on the database and select run cleanup agent? Does it do any other tasks? I'm just a little leary running this cmd-let without fully understanding what it did.

    You can run it as often as you want without worry. Yes, its like the cleanup agent. It does no harm to run it.
