About 3 weeks ago, my organization upgraded from NT4, Exchange 5.5 to a full Win2k3, E2k3 system. All user accounts and mailboxes were succesfully migrated over, and all was good in the world.
Then we did some cleanup. Removed some OLD accounts, and their associated mailboxes. Thats when the trouble started. Lets say we have a user named Scott, and his partner John. John sends Scott an appointment for his calendar, (all clients use OUtlook 2000) and right away - John gets a failure email, saying: "Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients... Blah blah blah The following recipients could not be reached: Secretary A - The email account does not exist at the organization... <mail.mydomain.com #5.1.1> Secretary B - The email account does not exist at the organization... <mail.mydomain.com #5.1.1>" Now - the meeting still goes to Scott. And shows up in his Inbox right away. Scott opens it, clicks Accept, edits his response, hits send, and gets: "Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients... The following recipients could not be reached: Secretary C - The email account does not exist at the organization... <mail.mydomain.com #5.1.1>" And yet, his response still gets to John without a problem, and its on his calendar, without a problem. Secretary A, B, and C no longer work here, and have not for a long time. They were 3 of the accounts we finally erased entirely. They do not show up for either John or Scott as delegates, they do not have any permissions to the mailboxes in any way, and they do not show up anywhere listed as having an account. I am baffled. Has anyone else seen this? Am I a victim of legacy ghosts from Exchange 5.5?? How can I unravel this?? Its not really HURTING anything, but Scott and John are lawyers, and they get MIGHTY testy when they see anything with "failure" on it. :) Hope someone can help... thanks for taking the time to read this far! -Matt _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
