Permanently Delete a Disconnected Mailbox

  • Makale

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2

When you use the Remove-StoreMailbox cmdlet to purge a disconnected mailbox and all its contents from the mailbox database, the data loss is permanent. There are two types of disconnected mailboxes: soft-deleted and disabled. When running the cmdlet, you must specify one of these types. If the type you specify doesn't match the actual type of the disconnected mailbox, the command fails.

To learn more about disconnected mailboxes, see Understanding Disconnected Mailboxes.

Note

You can run the Remove-StoreMailbox cmdlet only against disconnected mailboxes. If you attempt to run the cmdlet against an active mailbox, the cmdlet fails, and an error is returned. For details about how to permanently delete an active mailbox, see "Use the Shell to permanently remove a mailbox" in Remove a Mailbox.
