System Attendant Mailbox

We recently had a crash on our exchange server.

The information stores were no longer in the system manager. We managed to
retrieve them by renaming the physical files and creating new ones, marking
them as overwritable by restore, and later physically renaming the original
files back, and then reconnecting al mailboxes with the mailbox agent.

Everyone can send/receive mail again, only, the System Attendant Mailbox is
still disconnected, and we are unable to connect them again. When i try to
reconnect it, I get an error;

The specified value is used by ".

Someone told me that it may be possible to delete the System Attendant
mailbox and that it will be auto generated. But I am not sure of this is true.

Hi,

This post explains how to do it:

Make sure that everything is backed up before proceeding.
