Hi, I would like to provide the steps for Exchange 2003: 1 Delete the user’s mailbox from AD Users & Computers. Right-click the user account | Exchange Tasks | Delete Mailbox. Don’t worry about the mailbox data – we’re not really deleting the mailbox, just disconnecting it from UserA. 2 Run the cleanup agent in Exchange System Manager. Expand the Store where the mailbox resides | right-click Mailboxes | click Run cleanup agent. This marks all disconnected/orphaned mailboxes with a red cross icon superimposed 3 Now you can reconnect the disconnected mailbox to another user account that isn’t (already) mailbox-enabled. Right-click the disconnected mailbox | click Reconnect. Type in the name of the user you want to reconnect it to, or click Find and look for the user.Rowen TechNet Community Support
