I had a mailbox attached to a user that I had deleted. The mailbox in the stores is shown marked for deletion.. When I recreated the user, a new mail box was created with the same email address. (I stupidly used the wizard and not active directory). There are messages in the old mailbox marked for deletion that I am attempting to retrieve. I did search for help and found that creating a new user with no mailbox would allow me to reconnect to this user. However, now when I attempt to do that, the ExchangeDN value is already in use (I'm suspecting by the duplicate mailbox). Any suggestions?? I really need to retrieve those messages! Thanks for any help.

Try the "Questions" forum; the "Discussion" forum is for matters of general discussion, not specific problems in search of a solution.

Post problems such as this to the "Question" forum, rather than the "Discussion" forum. There are those who specifically seek out problems in need of a solution, and that's where they go to look for such.

Additionally there are the benefits that:

1) The "Questions" forum provides for your feedback, by way of your being able to mark "helpful" responses as such. This does not necessarily mean that a given response contained the complete solution to your problem, but only that it served to guide you toward it. This is intended to serve as an aid to those who may in the future have a problem similar to yours, so that they might have a ready source of reference available, thereby perhaps obviating the need for them to repeat questions previously asked and answered.

2) The revised TR makes it quite difficult to find both "Discussions" and "Questions" that have not had a fairly recent post, owing to some functions comingling them in the listings. By keeping each type in their respective forums, it is easier for all to find what they are looking for.
