XADM: Store Logs Error 1203 When You Delete a Mailbox

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

When you delete a mailbox that was created but never used, the Microsoft Exchange Server Information Store (IS) service logs the following error to the event log: 
   Event ID: 1203
   Source:    ExchangeIS Private
   Type: Error
   Category: General

   Failed to delete the mailbox of
    /o=Microsoft/ou=DOMAIN/cn=Recipients/cn=MyMailBox  with    error
    0x8004010f.
NOTE: Error 0x8004010f is Mapi Error MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND

Cause

Because a user never logged on to the mailbox and never received mail, the database entries for the user were never created. When Exchange Server attempts to delete the mailbox, the system attempts to locate the database entries, but no records are found and the MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND error is reported. This error was not logged previously.

Workaround

When the symptoms occur as described above, the error can safely be ignored.
