I have the retension set to 30 days, but my deleted mailbox will not show up in the disconnected mailbox container. Yes, I attached to the correct server (the only exchange in the org) and yes, I ran the clean command. Any ideas? Or am I going to have to restore from backup.

Glad it helped. It's a bit of a scare when the mailbox is not there!

I can't express how grateful I am for this – I've been going nuts because a deleted mailbox wasn't appearing in the 'Disconnected Mailboxes' list, thank you for the "clean-mailboxdatabase “Mailbox Database“" command!

Thank you so much for this! I was going nuts because the mailbox wasn't listed under Disconnected Mailbox, none of the other sites I read said anything about running clean-mailboxdatabase.

Extremely helpful tool and excellent tutorial. Running ADRestore -r seemed to have restored the object, although I'm not able to find it in ADUC.
