I'm trying to find what happened to some accounts/mailboxes that I have disabled because I cannot see them running "Get-Mailbox" but I find them if I run "Get-MailboxDatabase  | Get-MailboxStatistics | Where {$_.DisplayName -eq "User Name" }"

In that case I can see them as not disconnected, but I dont see them in the GUI neither.... after running the last command I can see this fields:

• IsValid : True
• ObjectState : Unchanged
• DisconnectDate:
• DisconnectReason:

(the last two fields are empty)

please help!!!!

I just ran the cmdlet "Get-Mailbox <alias> | fl" against a user that is currently disabled in our org. I do not see the "DisconnectDate" or "DisconnectReason" fields in my output from that command. This leads me to believe that in your case, the mailbox was in fact disconnected from the AD account, which would explain why:

1. You can't run the 'Get-Mailbox' cmdlet against that user, and

2. You are seeing the fields "DisconnectDate" and "DisconnectReason"

Run the following cmdlet and let us know what the output is:

Get-MailboxDatabase | Get-MailboxStatistics | Where { $_.DisconnectReason -eq "Disabled" } | ft DisplayName,Database,DisconnectDate

This should confirm if I was right or not.

If you've disabled the accounts, then they will not show in the Get-Mailbox command as they aren't really valid accounts. Try running this command:

Get-MailboxDatabase | Get-MailboxStatistics | Where { $_.DisconnectReason -eq "Disabled" } | ft DisplayName,Database,DisconnectDate

Some more information on disconnected mailboxes:

I have already done that (that was one of the things that I have first done)... including the "SoftDeleted" option too... but nothing appears from that commands.... :(

if I run the command "1" I dont see them... If I run command "2" I see nothing... i also run the second with "SoftDeleted" instead of "Disabled"... same result... nothing.... :(

Hi,

I am not quite sure your intention .

Based on my knowledge, you can identify the disabled mailboxes in your organization using the below command:

Get-MailboxDatabase | Get-MailboxStatistics | Where { $_.DisconnectReason -eq "Disabled" } | ft DisplayName,Database,DisconnectDate

so I don't understand your requirements, please show your purpose in details.

Are you sure the mailboxes are really disabled? And how did you disable the accounts?  Did you only disable them in AD or did you do it in the ECP or EMS?

I disabled them from the ECP .... I'm not sure if they are disabled because when I run:

"Get-MailboxDatabase | Get-MailboxStatistics | Where { $_.DisconnectReason -eq "Disabled" } | ft DisplayName,Database,DisconnectDate"

I see nothing... 

Ensure that you have the right permission, i.e. assigned the 'Mail Recipients' role.

Update the store state for those mailboxes, then see if you can see the disabled ones
