yeah, no doubt. i have a test server i try things out first.. but i'm using it on my production server now. I just didnt' realize it was a line by line tool like nslookup or adsutil.

Re: fast way to delete an Exchange Queue
apparently this command will delete a queue.. i haven't risked it yet though.. i need to further testing. If you want to delete an entire queue, you need to do it differently: queueaction externaldomain.com, qa=MSGACTION,ma=DEL,flags=ALL maybe this will help someon in the group later on. -Ben On Fri, Feb 1, 2008 at 9:46 AM, Ben Nordlander [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: yeah, no doubt. i have a test server i try things out first.. but i'm using it on my production server now.

Re: fast way to delete an Exchange Queue
sorry, i should have been more specific on the outcome which was nothing. It never deleted any email in the queue. It must have timed-out somewhere after 3 hours. granted there are 80,000 emails in this queue. I have looked all over the file system and can't find if these emails are stored somewhere... i checked all the usual suspects ( or so i think ). like C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Mailroot\vsi 1\Queue and the one in C:\inetpub\mailroot... 5 minute break... you know.. these emails are starting to shift into the deferred queue and now i'm finding them i think on the default exchange queue folder now.. hmmm. Yes they are shifting from delay to NDRs.. good! maybe i'll just wait for that to fill up and then delete them outta there. Unless anyone else has a better idea. Thanks for being curious in my efforts. -Ben On Thu, Jan 31, 2008 at 4:01 PM, Don Andrews [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is it not found 'cause it finished? -- *From:* Ben Nordlander [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Sent:* Thursday, January 31, 2008 3:18 PM *To:* MS-Exchange Admin Issues *Subject:* Re: fast way to delete an Exchange Queue Well that sucks.
