The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Help removing a "phantom" mailbox in Exchange 2007

Asked by ndalmolin_13 in Exchange Email Server

Hello Exchange Experts,

Im running Exchange 2007. Each morning a Powershell script is run that emails me a list of users that have exceeded their storage limit. There is one user on this report that no longer works for our organization. His account has been removed from AD and his mailbox has been deleted. He should not be on the report at all. If I input the following command, I receive an error stating the mailbox does not exist.
      Get-mailbox jnorquest

If I go into the Exchange Management Console and look for the mailbox, I find nothing.

However, if I run the following command, I get statistics for this user:
      Get-mailboxstatistics | where-object{$_.displayname eq Norquest, John} | FL

The command above gives me some details that state the database in which this mailbox is located is: warehouse. I run the following command and the mailbox is not found:
      Get-mailbox database warehouse

Any ideas what is going on here? Any ideas on how I can clear this ex-users mailbox statistics? As always, any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Nick
