Re: cleaning a mailbox

2002-12-11 Thread Randy Roffey
Jeff, you should be able to stop the Exchange services and then delete the
priv.edb.  Then when you restart the services a new Information Store is
created and all mailboxes will be empty.  You could also look into using
EXMERGE from the resource kit I'm guessing.

Regards

Randy

Subject: cleaning a mailbox


 I have an exchange 5.5 server that is only used by students that take
 training classes in Outlook. After each semester I want to delete
everything
 in the mailboxes. I have been using mailbox manager but I have not found
out
 how to remove future appointments from the calendar. Also meeting requests
 sometimes do not get deleted. Is there some way to completely remove
 everything. There are 300 mailboxes on this server.

 Thanks,

I have done this many times and it works great!  The dir will maintain the
GAL .  You can browse the Event Logs and see how well Exchange fixes itself.

 That sounds like a good idea. Do I need to do anything after it creates
the
 new priv.edb to sync up the accounts.

Re: cleaning a mailbox

2002-12-11 Thread Randy Roffey
Yes it can be useful in DR situations.  It provides immediate access to
users while a separate issue is resolved with the old priv.  Then the two
priv.edb files can be merged in a sense using Exmerge.

Nope. First logon will create the mailbox.

 That sounds like a good idea. Do I need to do anything after it creates
the
 new priv.edb to sync up the accounts.

  You could literally delete the priv.edb file.
  That will delete all the data, and when you restart Exch, it
  will create a
  new empty one.

  Subject: cleaning a mailbox
 
 
  I have an exchange 5.5 server that is only used by students that take
  training classes in Outlook. After each semester I want to
  delete everything
  in the mailboxes. I have been using mailbox manager but I
  have not found out
  how to remove future appointments from the calendar. Also
  meeting requests
  sometimes do not get deleted. Is there some way to completely remove
  everything. There are 300 mailboxes on this server.
 
  Thanks,

Re: Cleaning A Mailbox in EX2K

2002-01-23 Thread Tony Hlabse



Windex




Am I to assume that you can no longer clean the entire contents of a 
mailbox
through System Manager?

Is there a way to completely clean a mailbox in Ex2K?

Thanks,
jEFF
