Mailboxes present in EMC Recipient Configuration but not not found via OWA
I probably messed up big time. Here's what I did, 1. Installed SBS 2011 on a system with two drives, C: and D:. 2. After installation, mirrored the drives. So now there is only the C: drive. 3. Discovered that Exchange could not mount the mailbox and public databases. Exchange had put its databases on the D: drive. 4. Deleted the old mailbox and created a new one using EMC. 5. Deleted the public database using ADSIedit and created a new one. 6. Successfully mounted the databases. So now the mailbox and public databases are mounted and all of the recipients are listed in EMC's Recipient Configuration. But when I attempt to access a mailbox using OWA, I receive the message, "A mailbox couldn't be found for <domain>\<user>. If the problem continues, contact your helpdesk." I have tried a number of mailboxes and all come up with this message. This is a pretty tangled web so I hope somebody can point me in the right direction. Thanks.

3. Discovered that Exchange could not mount the mailbox and public databases. Exchange had put its databases on the D: drive. 4. Deleted the old mailbox and created a new one using EMC. 6. Successfully mounted the databases. So now the mailbox and public databases are mounted and all of the recipients are listed in EMC's Recipient Configuration. Hi g2e, Do you mean you delete the old mailbox database which includes user's mailboxes? I think you did it. From the output of Get-Mailbox, the Database property is blank. If you have made a backup of mailbox database ago, try to restore it. If not, you have to recreate the new mailboxes for users.
