How to change which AD account an Exchange mailbox is connected to without deleting the account

active-directoryexchange-2010

I would like to move an Exchange 2010 mailbox from mydomain\userAccount1 to mydomain\userAccount2 without deleting userAccount1.

I have seen numerous articles online that talk about how to do this after userAccount1 is deleted but none that provide steps to move a mailbox with all its e-mail, active sync relationships, and other metadata over to a different active directory user account.

How can I move a mailbox from mydomain\userAccount1 to mydomain\userAccount2 without deleting userAccount1?

Best Answer

You may try to performs these steps:

  1. removing Exchange attributes for userAccount1 using the Disable-Mailbox cmdlet
  2. running Clean-MailboxDatabase
  3. reconnecting the mailbox to userAccount2 using the Connect-Mailbox cmdlet

Hope this helps.
