When I try to remove an old Mailbox Database to allow me to uninstall Exchange from that server, I get the following:
--------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft Exchange Error
--------------------------------------------------------
The mailbox database 'Mailbox Database 136335xxxx' cannot be deleted.
Mailbox Database 136335xxxx
Failed
Error:
This mailbox database is associated with one or more active MailboxRestore requests. To get a list of all MailboxRestore requests associated with this database, run Get-MailboxRestoreRequest | ?{ $_.RequestQueue -eq "<Database ID>" }. To
remove a MailboxRestore request, run Remove-MailboxRestoreRequest <Recipient ID\Request Name>.
--------------------------------------------------------
OK
--------------------------------------------------------
The problem is that when I get the list back, the Restore Request has a Request Name but no Recipient ID so I am unable to remove it using Remove-MailboxRestoreRequest.
How can I go about removing this request? Am I correct in thinking if I get the Restore Request GUID I could use this to delete it; but how do I get this?
thanks
