I'm sorry if I'm suffering from search incompetence. I can't be the first person to ask this question. We have an Exchange Server 2007 SP2 environment. One of our users left several weeks again, and her mailbox was disconnected and purged--or I should say that we're beyond the mailbox retention period, so it doesn't show up in the list of Disconnected Mailboxes. She scheduled future meetings that need some changes (content, invitee list, etc.). As far as I understand, there's no way to transfer the ownership of such a meeting (or more importantly, a series of recurring meetings) to another user. Thus, making changes to future meetings in a series isn't really practical. Is there any way to clean up the meetings that she has scheduled? Is there a way for an Exchange admin to delete some or all of the meetings for which she is the organizer? Remember that I can't give myself full access permissions on her mailbox, since her account is disabled and her mailbox is gone. I suppose I could restore her mailbox from six weeks ago, if that's the only answer. Thanks.

Export-mailbox could be used here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb266964(EXCHG.80).aspx Example: Get-Mailbox -Database MailboxStore01 | Export-Mailbox -SubjectKeywords "Weekly Meeting" -DeleteContent

Oh . . . so to make the search specific enough: -IncludeFolders switch to restrict the search to the Calendar folders, -SenderKeywords switch to restrict the sender to the departed employee, -StartDate to restrict the search to future items . . . That could work! The number of meetings is small enough that we could test this without the -DeleteContent switch first and make sure we're not catching something we'd rather not catch. I'll try this . . . Thanks!

Yep, absolutely. Let us know how it goes.
