we are on exchange 03, running in a cluster, we have 2 information stores, a lot of data on the one info store got corrupted, we moved all the mailboxes we could over however, we have one that will not move, so we need to make a new mailbox for him, so does this mean i will have to wait until after hours and then delete his mailbox, then create a new one on the new info store? if so will this cause any wierd problems i should know about? also is there a better way to do this? thanks!!! Keenan

are you just considering the data lost for that user? If so, no reason to wait until after hours; just use ADUC, remove exchange attribs, then re mailenable the user account to the new info store.

On another note, since you are on a cluster, i'll assume enterprise version of exchange? I would reccomend maxing out yoru info stores/databases to minimize corruption impact and speed backups.

word up, well thank you very much, i think we will go with that plan because the user doesnt have any data in the mailbox they need to keep, thanks again!! Ill also bring that last point up with my boss and see what he says. Thanks!! Keenan
