Hi Team Greetings, unfortunately i had removed the mailbox in EMC rather than disabling the one user. anyway the retention period for the database is available fro the database is 20 days. Now there is no AD account and mailbox in EMC. How to restore / connect the particular user without losing any emails. Please help......

You can use the "Clean-MailboxDatabase" to casue the disconnected mailbox to appear in the "Disconnected Mailbox" node of the EMC Toolbox. Create a new user in the AD (but don't create a mailbox for it) and then you'll be able to connect the mailbox to the user. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Hi rich... Thanks for this command, i did the command but the particular mailbox is not appearing in the diconnected mailbox. i removed the user by right click the user then click remove.. AD account and mailbox is vanished. Am using exchnage server 2007 32bit. edition : evalution , version : 8.1 (build 240.6). i hope this is sp1 installed. One more thing... for testing purpose, i disabled one more user and check the same. it is not showing in the disconnected mailbox after issuing the commad clean-mailboxdatabase ..but the object is available in AD. should i have create the new mailbox and link to the AD account ? or it should be show in disconnected mailbox.... Confusing me verymuch....

Hey rich..... It is working now.....thanks a ton... We will talk soon

AD account and mailbox is vanished. The missing user account is no mystery -- it's gone (if you use Windows Server 2008 R2 on your DCs you should be able to recover that, though). The "Clean-MailboxDatabase" works. Just don't expect to see the results immediately. Give it a couple of minutes and refresh your view of the disconnected mailboxes. >Am using exchnage server 2007 32bit. edition : evalution , version : 8.1 (build 240.6). i hope this is sp1 installed. You know that's not something you want to do on a "real" machine, right? >One more thing... for testing purpose, i disabled one more user and check the same. it is not showing in the disconnected mailbox after issuing the commad clean-mailboxdatabase ..but the object is available in AD. should i have create the new mailbox and link to the AD account ? or it should be show in disconnected mailbox.... Wait. Patience. Things don't happen immediately. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
