Need to delete Mailbox store that contains System Attendant
We are cleaning out some whitespace in our mailbox stores.
Rather then defrag each mailbox store, I have been moving all the mailboxes to new stores and deleting the old store. This has worked perfectly for all except our First store which contains the System Attendant.
I have moved all mailboxes from this store and now need to delete the store. How can I move the System Attendant to a new store? I would eventuallyl like to move it back to the first mailbox store one I delete and recreate it but first need to understand how I can move it.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the information. I am still trying to remove orphaned mailboxes so that I can drop the store, but the information provided seems like it will work once I get this dropped.
I will keep you updated.

Thanks for the info. I finally got all mailboxes deleted and got the time to shut down those services so that I could delete the mailbox store. Once I restarted the services, the system attendant was recreated.
Thanks for the help!
