It seems that, if you “Disable” some mailboxes while in this condition (event 1006 from MS Exhchange Mailbox Repolication), hence before you restart it, the disabled mailbox(es) does not appear as “disconnected” and you are not able to reconnect them. I mean, you get:
Get-MailboxDatabase | Get-MailboxStatistics -filter ‘displayname -eq “”‘ | fl *disconnect*

In my case that’s not important, I do not need that mailbox anymore, but it might be a big problem in other cases.

Hi Ali,
Thanks for sharing. I’ve dismounted a database in Exchange 2016. Next to eventid 1006 I also get 1009 and 1010 error messages. After mounting the database the events are informational and good. But I want to delete the database at the end. What can I do to prevent Exchange from giving these events? What is the most clean method to dismount and delete the database, without ending up with all kind of error events?
I want to delete the database because I moved the mailboxes to O365. I’m in a Hybrid situation.
Hi Rogier,
I recommend creating one mailbox database with circular logging enabled. Then, move all the system mailboxes to that mailbox database.
