While the migration of old Exchange 2003 Server to an Exchange 2007 Server is completed, sometimes System Manager stops responding, the overall process is Interrupted due to which error message comes that the operation can not be performed because mailbox is in use or already reconnected to existing user.
You did right steps for the same as i do.

Awesome, I just tried moving the mailbox back to that server like you said. It errored and the old one disappeared.

Thanks mate!

Quickest way to clear them out is to try moving the mailbox back to the mailstore that houses your ghost mailbox. It’ll error, leaving it in the new mail store and deleting the ghost mailbox.

Easy

Do you receive an error when you try to run the cleanup agent?
What errors appear in the eventlog?

Actually last week we had moved some mailboxes from one store to another mail box store in bulk. All the mailboxes moved successfully and we got no error in event logs also.

Now we have an issue that some mailboxes are still showing in their previous stores in disconnect state while they are showing in their new store also as well properly. It’s not for all the mailboxes, only fewer

Mailboxes having this issue.

Now we want to purge these disconnected mailboxes from our Exchange System manager. I tried to do it manually running cleanup agent as well as trying to purge them, but I can’t. I searched on net and found

Article no.930363 relating this issue but it was not helpful for us.

Can you please give us an effective solution so that we could resolve this issue?
