Removing disconnected mailboxes in Exchange Server 2007

Hello folks,

Exchange Server 2007 doesn't allow us to purge the disconnected mailbox. In order to remove one or multiple disconnected mailboxes we can be performing these steps:

Listing all disconnected mailboxes

Get-MailboxStatistics | where-object { $_.DisconnectDate -ne $null } | Select DisplayName,MailboxGuid

Removing a single entry

Remove-Mailbox -Database <Database-Name> -StoreMailboxIdentity <MailboxGuid> -confirm:$false

Removing all users at the same time

$users = Get-MailboxStatistics | where-object { $_.DisconnectDate -ne $null } | Select DisplayName,MailboxGuid

Now that we have all disconnected mailboxes in a var, we can run the following cmdlet to remove all of them:

$users | ForEach { Remove-Mailbox -Database "Mailbox Database" -StoreMailboxIdentity $_.MailboxGuid -confirm:$false }

Best Regards,
Anderson Patrico

Thanks...

just a little improvment to remove on all databases of the server:

$users = Get-MailboxStatistics | where-object { $_.DisconnectDate -ne $null } | Select DisplayName,MailboxGuid,Database

$users | ForEach { Remove-Mailbox -Database $_.Database -StoreMailboxIdentity $_.MailboxGuid -confirm:$false }

Recovery starts with knowing which solution you need to reclaim the lost data. File recovery is the most common one but advanced users often rely a a partition product if the circumstance allows it. Service is for a failing hard drive.
