My experience thus far has been needing to run it several times. Following event logs after each run, I found on one mailbox where things were "repaired" on each run of three iterations. On the fourth iteration nothing was indicated as being fixed.

But there is little experiential evidence to back that up. However, you can easily test that with the -DetectOnly switch. Not a very satisfying answer, I know. Regards, Michael B.

Now the confusion about this new cmdlet sets in and wondering if anyone has some additional insight. I've reviewed the TechNet Blog post by nawaral on New-MailboxRepairRequest located at http://blogs.technet.com/b/nawar/archive/2010/08/19/exchange-2010-sp1-new-mailboxrepairrequest.aspx. And finally my question, does anyone know if running this against an individual mailbox repairs everything on one run or are multiple runs required until no errors are returned? Is the same true for a full database repair, would the command need to be repeated several times or should it repair everything the first run? ------------------------------------------------- Thank you, Pete Kretche --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist
