So we are seeing a few problems with employees who have left the company. Meetings scheduled by them do not go off another users calendar. This really becomes a problem when a schedulable resource has several weekly meetings on it from several users who are gone. Anyone know of a way through EXchAdmin or third party where we could run through the entire store and purge these items? Brian

Unfortunately, per my knowledge,purging these orphaned meetings is not possible if the organizer has deleted the meeting without sending a cancellation, orin your situation that the mailbox has been deleted Workarounds: 1. We must manually remove any meeting requests that were generated by that user from the calendar of each invitee 2. Also if possible you can restore the mailbox of the period before the organizer deleted the meeting request and send the cancellation.

Thats what I figured. Ah well, maybe this time I will REALLY make it a point to go in before we kill the box and clean it up. Keep doing the "next time, next time" thing. Good things about being an Admin, can hit theshared resources from my box and kill all I need to. Brian

Hi Brian, I absolutely agree with James on his both of the points. Some ideas are running in my mind incase there isnt any option to restore the mailbox now and you are trying to remove all the meetings manually from all mailboxes of invitees. Exchange 2003: You can use ExMerge to search & delete the meeting requests in all calendar folders but it has limited search option like base on subject line you can but not with from address. Reference: Delete Messages from Mailboxes by using EXMERGE http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/MF013.html It would be even easier in Exchange 2007 or in coexistence.... You can use Export-Mailbox command to delete the meeting request sent by user (who is deleted now) from all the mailboxes in your environment by combining various switches in the command.
