Hello can somebody help out clearing out what those new mailbox repair options are and what they do in exchange 2016cu19? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/new-mailboxrepairrequest?view=exchange-ps classic command is New-MailboxRepairRequest -Mailbox user -CorruptionType ProvisionedFolder,SearchFolder,AggregateCounts,Folderview , but i want to add the following: CleanupOrphanedIndexes,CorruptedPerUserData,CleanupFilesFolder,CorruptSearchFolderCriteria,EmptyFilesFolder what those actually do? and can i use them, with above classic command? Thank you

Answer 1

Hi @Marius Arbuzov ,

Just did a research but couldn't found any official MS docs about these CorruptionTypes.
I would think the CleanupOrphanedIndexes,CleanupFilesFolder,EmptyFilesFolder could be a additional task when repairing the mailboxes. And the CorruptedPerUserData and CorruptSearchFolderCriteria could be something to detect during the process.

And yes you can use them with these four types

But as the ProvisionedFolder,SearchFolder,AggregateCounts,Folderview has contained all corruption types, I think you could run the classic command first and then add them with -DetectOnly parameter.

Regards,
Lou
