Exch 5.5; SP4; Win2K Server; two-server org The exch admin of a recently-acquired company encountered a problem and asked for my own input, never saw this particular problem so perhaps the group might be able to share some experience. A few mailboxes with varying amounts of content (up to 50Mb of mail) were deleted then recreated with the same name, email address, etc. Instead of being empty the mailboxes continued to list their predecessor's content in Mailbox Resources, you could access the mailbox and all the old mail was still there. Their creation date even remained from the original mailbox. The other oddity was that almost exactly 24 hours later the mailboxes seem to have caught up with their "resurrection" and no longer contain the old content and the creation date is now acccurate. Any idea on what could have caused this delay in updating?
I initially suspected the changes had been made on one server in the org and the visual checking of the mailboxes was being performed on the second, with a possible replication error resulting in the old info still being visible. Unfortunately for the troubleshooting process all the work and verification was being done on the same server. Can't even chalk it up to user error (at least, not theirs!) as I got into the loop about 2 hours before the 24 hour reset and confirmed that the recreated mailboxes were indeed showing up as their old version. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
