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 }
