XADM: How to Use Mdbview to Remove Mailbox Event Scripts

This article describes how to use the Mdbview utility (Mdbvu32.exe) to remove mailbox event scripts.

If you run a script against a mailbox, and the script does not start, you can delete the script from the mailbox by using the Mdbview utility. This issue may occur even after you delete and republish the script in Microsoft Outlook. Before you perform the procedure in this section, make sure that you create an Outlook profile for the mailbox by using the associated script. You must create this profile on the computer where you run Mdbview.

To delete a script using Mdbview:

1. Run Mdbvu32.exe.
   
   This file is located in Server\Support\Utils\I386 on the Exchange Server 5.5 CD-ROM.
