I know you've tried before, but can you try to connect a new user object to
the orphan?
Have you considered dismounting the store to see if it lets go of the
object? What happened when you did?

Yeah been waiting for weeks now trying different things... I can't even try
to move it back because there is no user account associated with it. The
user that would be associated with this account is still joined to the old
mailbox on the old server - it's already there and functioning in the
destination.

What happens if you try to move the mailbox back to the original database
(without the user logged in)? I'm assuming you waited for cache, etc to
take effect.

(Phantom/Ghost Mailbox)
http://www.MSExchange.org/
We had a problem during a mailbox move process and one mailbox seems to have
been created on the destination server/store but still exists on the source
server/store. Now attempts to move this mailbox fail (I assume because the
destination mailbox already exists). The mailbox appears as disconnected
(red X) in ESM with 0 size/items.
Attempting to reconnect the mailbox to an account generates the following
error:
"This operation can not be performed because this mailbox was already
reconnected to an existing user."
followed by:
This object has not been replicated to the destination server yet. Wait for
replication to complete and try again.
Operation: Updating Mailbox Resources on server 'servername'...
ID no: c1031731
Exchange System Manager
Trying to purge the account gives the following error:
"The operation cannot be performed because this mailbox was already
reconnected to an existing user"
ID no: c1038af9
Exchange System Manager
Nothing is logged on the Exchange Server event logs. The source mailbox is
intact and the user is accessing it from there without a problem. We would
like to decommision this server (the reason for the move in the first place)
but I can get rid of the phantom mailbox on the new server to move this
mailbox over. Please help...
