Appreciate it, quick question: I recreated on of the users and mailboxes with the same account name. I'd like to restore the original one. If I delete the new one I created, will I still be able to restore the original one that was deleted first?

We deleted users never logged in from Server 2012 R2 AD and the Exchange 2013 shared mailboxes for the users were removed. This was inadvertent, as those users should not have been deleted (owner of the shared mailbox). How can we reverse this action? I know the mailboxes aren't actually deleted for 30 days but don't know what to do to get them back. I also can't recreate some of the shared mailboxes because Exchange complains the user exists... but it's actually deleted<br />

Much thanks!!
