Run the DS/IS consistency adjuster on that server. Select the first check box at the top and select all inconsistencies at the bottom. Do NOT touch anything to do with the public folders. This should recreate the directory object for the mailbox listed in the information store.
Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Niki Blowfield - Exchange [mailto:exchangelist@;partition.co.uk] Posted At: Thursday, October 24, 2002 5:17 AM Posted To: Exchange Discussion List Conversation: Mailbox 'disappeared' Subject: Mailbox 'disappeared' Dear All, We have an Exchange installation of a few servers, seperated by ADSL We are currently reviewing the setup to move everyone to a central server, and have everyone working offline One server does not communicate with the central server at all at the moment, and I havent been able to ascertain why, but we have continued to let them operate on their own sending messages to each other until we are ready to move everyone to the central server. I created a mailbox on the problem server, and its been used fine. It is not accessible from any of the other servers as the changes don't seem to have replicated across. Today, that server had to be rebooted, and that mailbox has disappeared. The list of recipients on that server now resembles the list that the other servers hold, i.e. without this new mailbox. However, the user and their store is still listed under "Private Information Store \ Mailbox Resources" The mailbox has been used for a couple of weeks, and so has quite a lot of info in it. I've tried exmerge which fails and gives the following error, although it doesn allow me to select the problem mailbox; **************************************************************** Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Merge Program, v3.71.001 Start Logging:October 24, 2002 10:53:53 **************************************************************** [10:53:53] Logging Level: None [10:53:53] Reading settings from file 'C:\exmerge\EXMERGE.INI'.

Any thoughts? Help !
