Hi, We having problem. We using Exch 2007. When to remove old mailbox, our admin accidently delete user account on AD. How to delete on exchange. If using power shell, what is the command line? Thank you. jaie

Hi Disable-Mailbox -id username http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997210(v=exchg.80).aspx Cheers, Steve

This command applies for exch 2007? Remove-StoreMailbox -Database MBD01 -Identity Ayla -MailboxState SoftDeletedjaie

You would use that command to purge a mailbox from the database that is either already disabled or is in a state of "soft deleted". Soft deleted mailboxes are ones that have been moved to other stores or organisations.

How to remove mailbox user permanently, if user id already deleted from ADUC. jaie

It's just a slight change to your command above: Remove-StoreMailbox -Database MBD01 -Identity Ayla -MailboxState disabled

You don't use "Remove" for delete mailbox on Exchange Management Console. Because this command is deleting user account and mailbox. You use "Disable" for delete mailbox. Get more information link below. http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/managing-mailboxes-exchange-server-2007-part2.html

You can use following commands to delete the mailbox: $Mailbox=Get-MailboxStatistics| Where{$_.DisplayName -eq "Mailbox Name"} Remove-Mailbox -Database "Database Name" -StoreMailboxIdentity $Mailbox.MailboxGuid Per my knowledge, when you delete the user in AD,the mailbox will be stated as disconnected mailbox. so you also can connect this mailbox to a new user. If you didn't see this maibox under disconnected mailbox, you can run Clean-MailboxDatabase (on the database which that mailbox hosted). Thanks, EvanEvan Liu TechNet Community Support
