Title: Message
I think what I'll do is delete the unmounted database, stop and restart the Information Store. That way it won't be referenced in ESM but I'll still have a copy of the database just in case.

Right. But you'll still have an instance of the database referenced in ESM, and you'll get errors thrown in the App log when you start the Information Store service, so why not dismount the database and delete it from ESM?

No you can delete it from Windows Explorer if the store is stopped.

If I'm not mistaken the Information Store has to be started in order to access the Storage Groups through ESM in order to delete a database.

I just think you need to stop the information store first

I recently had some corruption on one of my Exchange databases, let's call it exchange-mbx1, and had to create a new database under the same Storage Group, exchange-mbx1a,  on my Exchange 2000 server. I moved all the the mailboxes from the corrupt database, exchange-mbx1, to the new database, exchange-mbx1a. Now the corrupt database, exchange-mbx1, is empty and dismounted. I would like to delete the corrupt database, exchange-mbx1, are there any steps that need to be taken after deleting the database?


Thanks
Tim
