Cannot reconnect mailbox 1

[theboyhope]

One of the lads at work accidentally deleted a user, so then recreated her account, with a new mailbox.

So, I deleted the new account he had created and made a new one, without a mailbox this time.

When I go to reconnect the original mailbox, the 'Reconnect' option is greyed-out and the mailbox has no red cross over it.

What's up with that?

Did you run the clean up agent first? after giving the system time to replicate and mark the mailbox as unused?

Nope. Wouldn't that have deleted it?

Not if you had deleted mailbox retention set. Then you can recover the mailbox and reconnect.

First you have to run the clean up agent to flag the mailbox, then you right click on it and select the reconnect option.

Peachy. Cheers, folks.
