I'm hoping someone can help me here...
We recently installed a second exchange server in our site (in order to migrate
users to a SAN-connected server). The move went fairly well with the exception
of one mailbox which seems to be "stuck". What I mean is that the move mailbox
process crashed during the move, as a result the mailbox for that user appears
in both places:
- The original mailbox on server1 is intact with all messages, etc. User is
still accessing their mail using this server.
- The new mailbox was created on server2 but contains no messages. It appears
with a red X to indicate that it is not joined to an account.
The problem is that I can't delete that second account. Although the icon
indicates that it is a disjoined account, if I choose PURGE it says that it can
not be deleted as it has been joined to an account. If I choose reconnect it
fails indicating that the mailbox has already been reconnected.
Moving the mailbox fails now likely because this exists on the destination
server.
HELP!
