I chatted with Brian offline on this. One of the solutions
we discussed that I think he is moving towards was to set up a mailbox DB
and before deleting the users, move them all to this one DB. Then delete the
users and afterward, the DB. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Al Mulnick Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2005 9:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Purging Mailboxes Programatically How much time do you have till they need to be
purged?
Any benefit of lowering the mailbox retention time for the
duration of the removal process (or permanently if that fits?) Maybe lower
it to a day or two and let the system take care of this. You may want to
increase the online maintenance process time to run as well.
IIRC, these are settings you can make via
policy.

mbconn purge mailboxes? I just looked at it and it s like it only reconnects I
think… From:

On Behalf Of joe Oh... I think you are
screwed. :o) I once looked at
alternate methods to do this and mailbox reconnects but it was all MAPI based
and MS was very ungiving in terms of documentation around this stuff. What I got
working was so incredibly flakey I didn't trust it and it never made it out of
very very raw pre-alpha POC stage. I really would like to
find some other method because the method MS gave for doing reconnects in E2K3
completely sucks though they can at least say it is better than what was
available for E2K. We went from unforgivable to sucky. I wish they would publish
source to the ESM or mbconn which are doing this stuff through MAPI from what I
can tell.

On Behalf Of joe Recipe 17.13 in the
Windows Server Cookbook... It is probably on
Robbie's website somewhere, I would post it here but I am not clear if I have
the rights to even though I wrote the script. I believe it is owned by
O'Reilly.

Desmond I’m
pretty sure we’ve had this discussion here before, but I can’t find the thread.
:( I need to programmatically purge a fairly extensive list of mailboxes across
more than a dozen mailbox servers. I cannot wait the retention time, and I
certainly cannot run the cleanup agent on 12 servers x 4 storage groups x 5
mailstores manually. I have this feeling I’m going to be told I’m SOL, but, can
I purge mailboxes somehow in code/script? Thx, brian Thanks, c -
