Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 will reach end of support on April 11, 2017. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2007

Use the Disconnected Mailbox node under Recipient Configuration to view a list of all disconnected mailboxes in your Exchange Server 2007 organization and connect these mailboxes to user objects. A disconnected mailbox is a mailbox that is not associated with an Active Directory directory service user account.

Note

   To modify how recipient configuration objects are displayed in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), click View in the action pane. For more information about view options, see Recipient Configuration (RTM).

Disconnected Mailbox Objects in the Result Pane

When you select the Disconnected Mailbox node, the result pane lists any disconnected mailboxes on the Exchange server. By default, this is the server on which the Exchange Management Console is running. To view other disconnected mailboxes, you can connect to other servers in your Exchange organization. For information about the actions available for a disconnected mailbox, see Recipient Configuration > Disconnected Mailbox > Disconnected Mailbox (RTM).

To focus on a set of disconnected mailboxes that have specific attributes, you can use a variety of expressions to filter the list. For more information about filters, see How to Filter the Result Pane.

Managing Disconnected Mailboxes Using the Actions Pane

When you select the Disconnected Mailbox node under Recipient Configuration, depending on whether the result pane shows a disconnected mailbox, the following actions are available either by right-clicking Disconnected Mailbox or by using the action pane.

  • Connect
    Use the Connect task to connect the selected disconnected mailbox to an existing user. A wizard will help you associate the disconnected mailbox with a specific user object.

    Note

    The Connect task appears only if a disconnected mailbox is listed in the result pane. If no disconnected mailboxes are listed, the Connect task is not available.
