We are running exchange 2007. One of my technicians deleted a user account in the domain without deleting it from exchange. He then recreated the account in the domain. When I go to the exchange server, that user account now have 2 mailboxes. I tried to delete/disable the old mailbox but I am getting the error "object cannot be removed because object cannot be found in the domain controller" Is there a way to remove this mailbox? Any suggestion will be appreciated.. thank you.
