I would like to have your attentiont towards system attendant mailbox As per my understanding there is one system attendant mailbox in each exchange Server. I think you might have missed sytem attendant mailbox. Though I am not sure about the comment. But thought to have reply from you if it include sytem attendant mailbox as well. Thank you very much Great work!

Simply do this: - Go to the properties of the storage group - Change the deleted mailbox retention period to "0" days - Exit from the properties dialog - Right click on the storage group and run the cleanup agent Since the retention period is now zero, all purge-able mailboxes will be purged. NOTE: Remember to change your retention period back to whatever it was (usually 30 days)!! Thanks!

Saved me ALOT of right clicking. It should be no supprise that microsoft wouldn't include an easier way of purging mailboxes. Purging one mailbox at a time, yeah thats cost saving. Excellent script.

This helped me out in testing our new Exchange Cluster. When you run Microsoft's Loadsim program it generates mailboxes that are not easily removed. Now I can quickly and easily move from one stages of testing to another! Thanks again! Thanks for the script… This helped me out in testing our new Exchange Cluster.
