What are you trying to achieve though?

Paul – He may be referring to the same thing I have been experiencing when trying to reconnect a disconnected mailbox. In my case I have recreated the AD user object and then attached the disconnected mailbox…although mine is a a room mailbox….which has to be disabled to work. Once connected I add full access permissions to my own account. When I try to logon to the reconnected mailbox through OWA I get “your account has been disabled’. Obviously mine is not disabled. Although I should be able to logon to this account in this way even though it is disabled I did try enabling the room account, completing sync and then trying again. Still get the ‘your account has been disabled’ error. I have checked attributes, run database cleanup, etc. and no change.

I try to reconnect a deleted mailbox using this procedure, however I am getting error that the mailbox doesn’t exist. BUT exists, because the get-mailboxstatistics confirms it. I did it on Exchange 2010 ,Version 14.3 (Build 123.4).
thanks.

Users/clients can’t connect to a recovery database, so you’ll need to restore the mailbox from the recovery database to another mailbox database.

Is it possible to reconnect a disabled mailbox from a recovery database?
This is my scenario:
Day 1=Mailbox1 created on Database1
Day 25=Mailbox1 disabled on Database1
Day 31=Database1 backed up (Mailbox1 is in disconnected state for 30 days default retention)

Now, 45 days after backup, I need to restore Database1 from backup to recover disconnected Mailbox1.
Is this possible?

I’m trying to create linked mailboxes in a two forest migration scenario, but every time I do all of the proxy information from the source gets wiped out by the Default email address policy after connect-mailbox command. This includes the removal of some x500s that were added to ensure mailflow when we removed the contact objects which were pointing back at the source forest prior to the cross forest mailbox move.

Thanks!

Excellent site and always to the point and easy to understand. Works all the time.

I have couple of questions.

1: there are a lot of articles relating to Exchange 2010 but the is no category in your site for it like you have for other versions of exchange and powershell etc. Am I missing something here? It would be good to see all article for exchange 2010.

2: can you write up some articles on exchange server design that are more real world. Like if organizations use different internal domain names like ABC. Local and different external domain name like ABC. Com..
And what firewall rules to be created for outside communication to our exchange servers.

A million thanks

I’d guess the account is disabled.
