Planning and Configuring a Messaging Platform (legacy) — Question 18

You have a Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 organization that contains four Mailbox servers.
You are decommissioning a Mailbox server named EX01.
When you attempt to remove one of the mailbox databases from EX01, you receive a warning message that the database still contains mailboxes.
You run Get-Mailbox ""Server EX01 and confirm that all user mailboxes are hosted on other servers.
You need to remove the mailbox database.
What should you do first?

Answer options

• A. Disable circular logging.
• B. Move the arbitration mailboxes to another server.
• C. Run eseutil /p.
• D. Stop the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because arbitration mailboxes must be moved to another server before the mailbox database can be removed. The other options do not address the issue of mailboxes remaining in the database, and thus will not resolve the warning message preventing the database from being deleted.
