I have an exchange 5.5 sp4 with a mailbox that does not show up in the administration program even with show hidden recipents, but show up when looking at mailbox resources. I need to delete this mailbox and I have tried the following.

1. Went into RAW mode and tried deleting it that way

2. Created another object just like this one on another server and tried moving the mailbox and this failed.

My questions is are there any other utilities out there or a procedure that can be used to remove this e-mail box?

Thanks

This from the web:

"I'm going to assume you mean that the mailboxes appear in the "Mailbox Resources" view on the server, but if you select the mailbox you cannot display its property page. You probably get an error stating that the directory information is missing.

This should be pretty easy to fix. Select the server and display its property page. Select the "Advanced" tab and then click the "Consistency Adjuster..." button. Check the top box on the next dialog ("Synchronize with the directory...") and select the "All inconsistencies" radio button at the bottom. Then click "OK? and click ?OK? on the next dialog.

When the adjustment completes, give it a minute or two, and then hit the F5 key to refresh the view. The directory information should be back and you should then be able to delete the mailbox."
