We had a hard crash on our exchange server last week, to the point where I was forced to run a repair and eventually things started to work. For some strange reason several mailboxes are completely gone and not sure how or why. This week while creating a new account we notice that after creating the new user in AD and then trying to create the new mailbox no user is returned on the selection page.
we have other users that while the have a mailbox they wont connect to it returning errors that the folder was not validated.
has anyone seeing this problem. Was thinking to run a defrag on the database to see if that makes a difference.
Here is an error I found in the evenviewer
