Dear All,This is my Scenario:1) i moved a mailbox and never logged in, so there was no mailbox created in mailbox database. 2) then i disabled that mailbox from exchange console, but as this mailbox has never been logged in so i cannot see this mailbox in disconnected mailboxes 3) then i give command in shell Enable-Mailbox -Identity Domain\User -Database Server\DatabaseName 4) but i could not able to connect that user to mailbox because mailbox was not still created. 5)but then that user gets mail, and his NEW mailbox created and now this user is connected to new mailbox now when i give command Get-MailboxStatistics i can see two mailboxes from the same user one is with 3 items (new one) and one is with 1300 items (old one) Q1, Can you please tell me how should i connect old mailbox to this new user? Q2, if that mailbox is not in mailbox database and not in disconnected mailboxes, then where it is?

1) i moved a mailbox and never logged in, so there was no mailbox created in mailbox database. > If it is a exchange server 2007/2010 server, then the above statement is incorrect. In legacy versions, a mailbox will be visible in ESM only if a mail is sent. But in E2K7 & E2K10, it will be present once created.2) then i disabled that mailbox from exchange console, but as this mailbox has never been logged in so i cannot see this mailbox in disconnected mailboxes > This contradicts your above statement as well. But assuming that the mailboxes are disconnected at this point.3) then i give command in shell Enable-Mailbox -Identity Domain\User -Database Server\DatabaseName 4) but i could not able to connect that user to mailbox because mailbox was not still created. 5)but then that user gets mail, and his NEW mailbox created and now this user is connected to new mailbox now when i give command Get-MailboxStatistics i can see two mailboxes from the same user one is with 3 items (new one) and one is with 1300 items (old one) Q1, Can you please tell me how should i connect old mailbox to this new user? Q2, if that mailbox is not in mailbox database and not in disconnected mailboxes, then where it is? Answer for your Q1 & Q2:1. Run Clean-MailboxDatabase cmdlet from the EMS. Refer to: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124076.aspx, which will show the mailboxes in the disconnected mailboxes.2. To reconnect the original mailbox, you need to disconnect the new mailbox and connect the correct mailbox from the disconnected mailbox.All the best :)- Nagesh

Hi, The mailbox shud exist in the Disconnected mailbox list because it was a mailbox containing email items, though u moved it from somewhere. Also for enabling a disabled mailbox u will have to use "Connect-Mailbox" command like this, instead of "Enable-Mailbox". Connect-Mailbox -Database "Mailbox Database" -Identity "Mailbox1" -User Mailbox1@domain.com Here Identity will represent the disconnected mailbox in the Datababase, while user is the disconnected user in AD.

i connect it from exchange 2000 console, and it is working perfectly....after connecting it one thing was strange...on exchange 2000 console it was showing mailbox is in exchange 2007, while in exchange 2007 console it was showing me as legacy mailbox. i run wizard for moving mailbox from exchange 2007 to 2000 and it was successfull and every thing is perfect
