First, even though these mailboxes are duplicated, is the user able to
open it ok and access all their items?  If so, maybe just run the
Cleanup Agent on the old server.

Another suggestion might be to try and move the mailbox back.  It should
error out, and may remove the orphaned item for you.  If it works, then
check the new server and see if it shows up.  If not, move it back to
the new server.

Have you checked Technet (KB) at all?  Orphaned Mailbox maybe?

Conversation: Mailbox moves completed, but....
Subject: Mailbox moves completed, but....


Good afternoon,

I have completed moving 1700+ mailboxes from one server to the other.
We are using Outlook 98 Exchange Windows 2000.  After the moves were
completed I have a few stray mailboxes that are hanging around that are
duplicated on the two servers. Under total K they show 0K, even though
the mailbox on the correct server (the one moved to) show the correct
space 58,098K.

I am afraid if we delete the mailbox on the almost empty server, we will
delete the real mailbox. So we don't want to do that.  We could dump the
mailbox to a PST, delete the mailbox and restore the mailbox, but that
would cause problems because all communications to the old mailbox would
be severed and people couldn't do replies to the eMAILs that are sitting
in the mailbox. Meetings couldn't be canceled.

What a quandary.  What do we do? Just turn off the server and clean it
off..
I don't think so.

Thanks for any help you might have.

Regards,
