Not sure if this is the right place to post it, but I've run into a wall on an issue and the Googles have given me nothing so far. Hoping some here may be able to help.
Situation:
User went on maternity leave. Somebody deleted her AD object (and mailbox) rather than just disable it. Since employee was on leave, it wasn't noticed until now. Retention policies already nuked the mailbox from Exchange so reconnecting isn't an option. New AD object and mailbox was created. Group memberships were all re-added. User can log in and access all her applications. Open Outlook and Inbox starts populating. Seems like everything is back up and running, I can restore her mailbox to a PST file from backups then import, easy peasy. Until...
User tries to start recreating her folder structure. She can't create any new folders in her mailbox, just gets a generic "Folder could not be created". Tries to send a message, gets stuck in Outbox. I give myself Full Access permissions to her mailbox, add it to my Outlook. Same results. Both NT Authority/System and her AD account are listed in Full Access permissions for the mailbox. Given these are fresh accounts (meaning new SID's), I don't know how the old accounts would be interfering, but at this point I assume that must be the issue. Any suggestions?
Same results going through OWA.
