You might need to run the Cleanup Agent before the connect option is available on the old mailbox. (Rt-click on "Mailboxes")

So you deleted the AD account but not the mailbox? Is that correct? If so, when you recreated the account (I'm guessing not a restore) you had the option to create a new mailbox. If you did that the user would have a new mailbox with no data. If you recreated the user with a new mailbox and you still have the old mailbox, you need to remove the mail attributes and delete the new mailbox. Then you can attach the old mailbox to the user account.

When I bring him back, the Exchange user account is reborn, empty. The old account is still on my Exchange server, I have that set for 30 days. But when I bring his account back, it makes a new e-mail account, empty. Having a fit with this, I know I have brought back accounts a long time ago, what am I doing wrong? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ----------------------------------------- This message, and any attachments to it, may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
