I would change the procedure a bit so that you are modifying the mailbox to mark it hidden, put message size limits so nobody can send to that mailbox or use it to receive mail, add a delete on date X in ~1 month tag to the display name, remove mailbox from all DL's, and also email all the accounts telling them the mailbox is about to die. There is a possibility that your user admin team have added a second NT account to the mailbox permissions and you don't really want to restore loads of mailboxes or do you?.

Open the CSV file in Excel and sort by Primary NT Account (not exact wording, but it's close). Delete all rows EXCEPT for the ones that have UNKNOWN as the account. Add one column, header is MODE and insert the word "DELETE" (without the quotes) in that column in all rows. Please make sure that the accounts shown in the spreadsheet are the ones to be deleted, UNKNOWN can come up if there is no trust between two domains that are served by your Exchange org. You also want to make sure you're not deleting any service mailboxes that wouldn't have an account assigned anyway. Save your CSV file, then import it. All the mailboxes marked with DELETE will disappear. John Matteson; Exchange Manager Geac Corporate Infrastructure Systems and Standards (404) 239 - 2981 My toys! My toys!

The group responsible for adding and deleting users throughout the organization has not been removing user's mailboxes after the NT account is deleted. Any help would be appreciated... Thanks!
