Exchange 2013 ECP Notification UI shows old Mailbox Import and Export alerts. How to get rid of those?

Hi,

these old alerts are already almost one year old. If I make import or export now --> no alerts.

Export PST of mailbox 'xxx' has been queued. It was started by Admin on 3/31/2014 8:01:27 AM.
Import PST of mailbox 'yyy' has been queued. It was started by Admin on 3/10/2014 12:12:59 PM.

These Imports and Exports success, but alerts left. Notification UI shows 50 or sometimes 74 alerts.

I check status with these commands, don't get any queued request:

get-mailboximportrequest -resultsize "Unlimited" | get-mailboximportrequeststatistics | fl > "C:\import-request.txt"
get-mailboxexportrequest -resultsize "Unlimited" | get-mailboxexportrequeststatistics | fl > "C:\exeport-request.txt"

KR, Jyrki

Notifications live in the the arbitration mailbox and are supposed be cleared by at a max of 30 days. Try running the managed folder assistant against the arbitration mailbox to force a clean.

Hi,

I tried it, but the same alarms are still visible. They are all from last spring, for more than 30 days old.

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-Mailbox -Arbitration | Start-ManagedFolderAssistant
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-Notification

Get-Mailbox -Arbitration | Start-ManagedFolderAssistant

resolved my problem with about two minutes. Try to

Get-Mailbox -Arbitration | Start-ManagedFolderAssistant  -verbose 

and see if it is alerts there.

I tried it already with -verbose, no any alerts.
