Discovery Search Mailbox

Hi,
I need help!!, I moved all users of a database "db1" and to "db2" I have done the procedure.

the db1 is dismounted and corrupt, i can't repair because is not enough space in the drive


what I need to do with Discovery Search Mailbox? create a new one in the new database and delete this?

is possible delete?

That's a bad link, mainly because if the database is down and corrupt you need to recreate ALL of the system mailboxes (which is actually not that bad).

I would recommend following these directions: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg588318%28v=exchg.141%29.aspx. I have done this numerous amount of times, but i would highly recommend reviewing these first and then coming back if you have questions.

Cheers, and no worries.. stuff happens and this (luckily enough) should be an easy enough fix.

Just to confirm. All users were successfully moved to a new database right? They are up and running and all there data is present?

Are you sure there is no data you need from this database?

If you are positive it is safe to delete your database you can remove it with ADSI. This removes the database from Active Directory.

Then browse to the location of your database files and either move them or delete them.

I cant create again, we really need this user?
Do you receive an error when you create it?

You will need it if you ever plan to do any kind of e-Discovery for litigation on your Exchange box. Basically dropping anyone into the Discovery Management RBAC group in Exchange.
