Hi, I've read several threads about people having issues when trying to purge a diconnected mailbox. I've also tried this but the powershell returns an entry that it does not recognize the database name, or the server name for that matter. Unless I'm misunderstanding it? Please take a look. [PS] C:\Windows\System32>Get-MailboxStatistics -database Mailbox Database | wher e {$_.disconnectdate -ne $null} | foreach {Remove-mailbox -database $_.database -storemailboxidentity $_.mailboxguid} Get-MailboxStatistics : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Database'. At line:1 char:22 + Get-MailboxStatistics <<<< -database Mailbox Database | where {$_.disconnect date -ne $null} | foreach {Remove-mailbox -database $_.database -storemailboxid entity $_.mailboxguid}

The value following the -database needs to be protected since it contains a space. get-mailboxstatistics -database "mailbox database" . . . >[PS] C:\Windows\System32>Get-MailboxStatistics -database Mailbox Database | wher e {$_.disconnectdate -ne $null} | foreach {Remove-mailbox -database $_.database -storemailboxidentity $_.mailboxguid} Get-MailboxStatistics : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Database'.
