That's what I didn't want to do. Unfortunately the account has been used for years for everything so it is inextricably tied in with too many things.

Exchange 2007<br />
<br />
I have a user that under Recipient &gt;&nbsp;Mailbox Configuration is showing the 'Server' abc-123. Everyone else is abc123 the correct server.<br />
<br />
If I open the properties of this user I get The properties on 'testuser' have invalid data if you click OK, default values...<br />
<br />
I'm unable to delete the mailbox because of the error about having to have a database.<br />
<br />
So I need to get this user on a database and the correct server name. I can't delete this account so is there a work around for this without deleting the account?
