Hi all,
Recently I was playing with some mailboxes in Exchange 2010 and I disabled a test mailbox. I then went on to do some other things and a little while later decided to re-connect that disabled mailbox. After the account was connected and everything looked good, I sent a test message to that account. When I did, I got the following error:
Diagnostic information for administrators:

To fix this error simply run the Clean-MailboxDatabase command against the database where the mailbox exists.
My assuption is that the system hasn’t removed the disabled flag on the mailbox itself and running Clean-MailboxDatabase takes care of this. Once I did this, all was fine.
Wow, that was such an obvious thing that I am slightly embarrased that I didn’t think about it before googling and finding your post.
Thanks 😀
Gene, many thanks for this command! This helped me out with a mailbox move did that did not finish properly as the mail server could not communicate with a hung DC
