Yesterday, I deleted a user in SBS 2008 and today the client is asking for the email messages of that user. How can I recover this mailbox in Exchange 2007 or is there a way in SBS 2008? I don't see it as a disconnected mailbox even after running a clean up on the mailbox database.Microsoft Partner

Hi, Some time in exchange 2007 disconnected mailbox take time to appear, for this you have to run this command : Clean-MailboxDatabase <database name>, if already this command has been run & still the mailbox it not showing, kindly have a look on no. of day set before permanently deletion the mailbox. In this case mailbox can be recovery from exchange backup if available.Ripu Daman Mina | MCSE 2003 & MCSA Messaging

I have already run this command and the mailbox is still not there. The number of days till permanent deletion is set to 30 days so I am not sure why I am not seeing this mailbox... Does anyone else have any pointers?Microsoft Partner
