SUMMARY
=======

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

MORE INFORMATION
================

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.

2. In the "MAPILogonEx(MAPI_LOGON_UI)" dialog box, click to select the following
  check boxes, and then click OK:

   - MAPI_NEW_SESSION

   - MAPI_EXPLICIT_PROFILE

   - MAPI_NO_MAIL

3. When you are prompted to enter a profile, enter the profile for the mailbox
  that has the broken script.

4. In the MDB Viewer Test Application window, click the MDB menu, and then click
  OpenMessageStore.

5. Click the mailbox, and then click Open.

6. In the MDB Viewer Test Application window, click the MDB menu, and then click
  Open Root Folder.

7. In the Child Folders section, double click "Top of Information Store".

8. Double-click Inbox.

9. In the "Associated Messages in Folder" section, click the script that you
  would like to delete.

  NOTE: If more than one script is displayed, make sure that you click only the
  scripts that you want to remove.

10. Click Operations Available, and then click "lpFld->DeleteMessages()".

11. To delete the script, click Call Function.

12. Repeat steps nine to eleven for every script that you want to delete. (You
  can also click multiple messages to delete by using the CTRL or SHIFT key.)

13. After you have deleted all of the scripts that you want to delete, click
  Close three times to return to the MDB Viewer Test Application window.

14. Click the Session menu, click Session Logoff, and then click OK.

15. Quit Mdbvu32.exe
