Hello,
I have to delete Exchange 2010 archive database but i am getting error that error
"This mailbox database contains one or more mailboxes, mailbox plans, archive mailboxes, or arbitration mailboxes. To get a list of all
mailboxes in this database, run the command Get-Mailbox -Database <Database ID>. To get a list of all mailbox plans in this database, run the command Get-MailboxPlan. To get a list of archive mailboxes in this database, run the command Get-Mailbox -Database<Database ID> -Archive. To get a list of all arbitration mailboxes in this database, run the command Get-Mailbox -Database <Database ID> -Arbitration. To disable a non-arbitration mailbox so that you can delete the mailbox database, run the command
Disable-Mailbox <Mailbox ID>. To disable an archive mailbox so you can delete the mailbox database, run the command Disable-Mailbox <Mailbox ID> -Archive. Arbitration mailboxes should be moved to another server; to do this, run the command New-MoveRequest<parameters>. If this is the last server in the organization, run the command Disable-Mailbox <Mailbox ID> -Arbitration -DisableLastArbitrationMailboxAllowed to disable the arbitration mailbox. Mailbox plans should be moved to another server; to
do this, run the command Set-MailboxPlan <MailboxPlan ID> -Database <Database ID>."
I tried all solutions as below but i couldn't find the email (we have Exch 2010 and 2013 co-consistence environment)
1. get-mailbox -database **** -Archive
2. get-mailbox -database **** -Arbitration
3. Get-mailboxstatistics -database ***
4-Remove-mailboxdatabase -identity **** -verbose to find the mailbox
5.Get-MailboxStatistics -database "****" | Where-Object DisconnectDate -Ne $null | select DisplayName,MailboxGUID
6.Get-Mailbox | Where-object {$_.ArchiveDatabase -eq "*****"}
I can find only the systems mailbox when I run Get-mailboxstatistics -database *** so i delete it by using -StoreMailboxIdentity but it
recreated again .
Please advise if i shall delete the DB by using ADSIEdit
Thanks
