system attendant and administrator mailbox move

09-09-06, 09:04 PM

hi all,

I have created new stores and moved all user mailboxes to their
corresponding store. The old stores where then deleted. I am left with the
first mailstore created. I moved all mailboxes except for the system
attendant and administrator. when I right click the sys attendant and hit
exchange tasks I dont get options. I found ms article saying you
cant/shouldnt move the system attendant mailbox. I just want to move it to
another store on same server so i can delete store. When I try to move the
administrator mailbox it errors out at beginning. I get event IDs 9175,9168,
& 1008. I can post copies of event ids if needed. So how to I move these two
last mailboxes?

Thanks in advance.

It will get re-created when you delete that first store:

Thanks. I was able to move the administrator mailbox. The problem was that I
was logged into the server with the administrator account. I logged into
server with my account and was able to move administrator mailbox. Tonight
I'll delete the mailstore and see where exchange moves the sys attendant
mailbox. Thanks again.
