Hi- I have a new installation running on Hyper-V guests (3 servers, all roles on all servers). After the initial install I created a new DB on server Exch01. I want to delete the default DB but cannot on account of there being hidden mailboxes still in the DB. Using the standard "Get-Mailbox -Database <Database ID>" shows no results. Nor do the other Get- cmdlets
I found a post where the person used "Get-MailboxStatistics -Database "Database ID" | fl DisplayName,MailboxGuid,Database,DisconnectReason"
That did work and it lists all of the mailboxes still in the DB. I disabled the HealthMailboxes, but can't find the right syntax to disable the ones showing as "In-Place Archive". And there are 3 other ones (SystemMailbox, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Exchange Migration) that I'm not sure what to do with. Here is the output of the cmdlet:
