Hi All!I think i caused a major boo-boo the yesterday. Last weekend, I created a new Storage group and mailbox database, and moved all of our users to the new SG/Database (which is stored on an external storage array). Basic info: Exchange 2007, Update Rollup 3, 64bitToday, I decided to disable the default "Mailbox Database" under First Storage Group. When I did this, i immediately got errors in my application event log, to the tune of: A transient failure has occurred. The problem may resolve itself in a while. The service will retry in 56 seconds. Diagnostic information: Cannot open mailbox /o=aum/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Configuration/cn=Servers/cn=EXCHANGEDB/cn=Microsoft System Attendant.

So i mounted Mailbox Database again.. all seems well. However! Now, everytime i go into "Disconnected Mailbox" under the "Recipient Configuration" menu in Exchange Management Console, I get the following "Microsoft Exchange Critical Error" pop-up window with the following details: Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints. System.Data.ConstraintException: Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints. at System.Data.DataTable.EnableConstraints() at System.Data.DataTable.set_EnforceConstraints(Boolean value) at System.Data.DataTable.EndLoadData() at Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemManager.DataTableLoader.MoveRows(DataTable sourceTable, DataTable destinationTable, Boolean forceUseMergeTable) at Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemManager.DataTableLoader.OnDoRefreshWork(RefreshRequestEventArgs e) at Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SnapIn.Esm.Recipients.DisconnMailboxesDataSource.OnDoRefreshWork(RefreshRequestEventArgs e) at Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemManager.RefreshableComponent.worker_DoWork(Object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e) at System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker.WorkerThreadStart(Object argument) Has anyone seen anything like this?? I can't seem to figure out what the heck went wrong here. I did some research on the net, and saw a few people with similar problems get some relief with re-running setup.com /preparead, but this did not seem to do any good for us.Just an FYI, mail seems to be working fine, and I am not seeing any other problems other than this persistent error.Any help is MUCH appreciated!! thanks!!

I wonder if there is a bug related to the default database. Maybe it is required for some operation. Let's try a EMS cmdlet and see if it bombs the same way the GUI does. Open up the EMS and type this: Get-MailboxStatistics | Where {$_.Databasename -eq "Mailbox Database"} Does it bomb out?

Interestingly enough, I don't get any errors when i run that command.It does return a few mailboxes, however. They seem to have the same name of actual users, but the "Item Count" is very low, which would indicate to me that it is not the real mailbox (one of the mailboxes is my own, and i know i have more than 2 items.)thanks so much for the assistance!

Just adding some other interesting information. I keep doing research online, and came up with a blog posting with a very similar situation at: http://www.mmmug.co.uk/blogs/nweb/archive/2007/07/04/1330.aspxIt SOUNDS like this is a bug???If it makes any difference, everything is brand new on Exchange 2007. We have not upgraded from 2003 or any other version, as we are new to the exchange software.thanks for any info!

Hi All, I experience the same problem with viewing disconnected mailboxes at microsoft exhcange 2007, this problem happened after I restore database/storage group by using dial-tone restore which including move mailbox configurationto the temporary database, usualy its done by using this command: get-mailbox -database 'storagegroupname\databasename' | move-mailbox -configurationonly -targetdatabase 'storagegroupname\databasename' By move the configuration to other storage group and database, it make the error when viewing the disconnected mailbox If you ever do the same command like above then you can solve the problem by: 1. Move all the mailbox to its original storage group and database. 2. Using command describe above return the configuration back to the original storage group and database 3.Remove temporary database 3.Remove temporary storage group Hope this help... Regards, Jazz Man

I am reviving this because i have a similar problem after 3Y as you can see :) As Jim suggested Get-MailboxStatistics | Where {$_.Databasename -eq "Mailbox Database"} the command witch i tried and got a warning: WARNING: The database 'xxx-xxx-xxx\First Storage Group\Mailbox Database' to be accessed on server 'ser-beo-dc02.telelink.rs' is not mounted or is not available. First Storage Group\Mailbox Database is really disconnected and deleted because we have moved all of the mailboxes to a structurally organised Storage Groups Do you have some idea of why is this happening ?

If you try "get-mailboxdatabase" do you see that mailbox database in the output? --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Hi Rich This is the output: [PS] C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop>Get-MailboxStatistics -Database "Mailbox Database" Get-MailboxStatistics : The database 'XXX-XXX-XXX\First Storage Group\Mailbox Database' to be accessed on server 'XXX-XXX-XXX.domain.com' is not mounted or is not available.

Or, even better, "get-mailboxdatabase -status | fl". Is the database present? Is it mounted? --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
