This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Console or the Exchange Management Shell to dismount a mailbox or public folder database in a storage group on a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Mailbox server.

Before You Begin

To perform this procedure, the account you use must be delegated the following:

  • Exchange Server Administrator role and local Administrators group for the target server
