No need to cycle the Information Store. It
won't hurt anything, but you don't have to.

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

Subject: [ActiveDir] Deleting an
Exchange Database
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
