Re: problem with removing Exchange 2000
Well those mailboxes are not belong to anybody. and I did repair:
Initiating REPAIR mode...
Database: d:\mdbdata\priv1.edb
Streaming File: d:\mdbdata\priv1.STM
Temp. Database: TEMPREPAIR3060.EDB
Checking database integrity.
Scanning Status (% complete)
0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100
|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|
...................................................
Integrity check successful.
Note:
It is recommended that you immediately perform a full backup
of this database. If you restore a backup made before the
repair, the database will be rolled back to the state
it was in at the time of that backup.
Operation completed successfully in 56.297 seconds.
and still I cannot purge those 2 mailboxes, nothing happens after I select
purge, and no error in event viewer.
Any idea?

Re: problem with removing Exchange 2000
Hi,
Just to make sure. There are no other "live" mailboxes in the store. You
have checked using the article from my previous post?
Search using active directory users and computers and move/delete everything
you meet.
