Cannot open Mailbox of previously disabled user (now enabled)
Help! I disabaled a temp account, and now I have a temp who needs to use it, so I've enabled the account. However, I cannot open the mailbox associated with this account. It appears that even though the network account is enabled, Exchange thinks the mailbox is still disabled. It's been 2 hours since this user account was enabled, how long before Exchange realizes it? I've run the Exchange Mailbox Cleanup Agent to no avail.

do you have multiple DC's? if so... go into AD Sites and Services and force replication.... this will update the active directory information on all DC's

No just one DC

Thanks flyguy, you were correct, after 3.5 hours - I was able to access the mailbox.
It kind of sucks...and I haven't been able to figure out why it does this in a small domain. In larger domains it is generally faster. Granted, I haven't taken the time to call PSS and find out why...but it is a pain, especially when enabling an account so that the mail can be exported and the mailbox whacked.

I wonder if restarting the system attendant service would speed up the process... I know it does when you move mailboxes between stores....
Restarting the SA, however, downs the IS, right?
correct... just long enough to restart the service... usually last 15 to 30 seconds to restart one of our servers system attendant service....
...It's definitely a lot faster in Exchange 2003.
