In the post before I indicated the SystemMailboxes were on the wrong databases. Our servers have 3 storage groups and 5 databases each. Somehow 13 of the 15 were on one database and causing problems with event sinks. I've seen this happen on newly built Exchange servers and the fix was easy enough since there were no users. In this case it's a fully populated server so deleting databases and recreating is not an option. In this case the rehome using adsiedit -to me- is much easier than other methods mentioned.

You shouldn't ever need to. There is a reason that the move mailbox wizard doesn't move them. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Condra, Jerry W Mr HP Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2007 5:59 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] adsiedit question I needed to move SystemMailboxes which won't move with the wizard.

I'm trying to modify an attribute for a mailbox using adsiedit. Particularly I'm rehoming it's database by modifying the homeMDB attribute. The problem I'm running into is I'm getting an error stating "The name reference is invalid" when I try to apply the change. I've done this a few times but this is the first time I've run into this error. Google doesn't give enough info to determine the cause...or maybe it is and I just don't know enough about the response to see it....that never happens. ;-) If anyone can shed some light it would be greatly appreciated.
