We seem to be experiencing a strange issue – there are a few users who are getting the “Mailbox is disabled” error message in OWA. When going into the users account via the EMC it looks fine until you click the Calendar Settings tab then you get the error "Cannot open mailbox xxx it was running the command 'Get-CalendarProcessing ...'
I have checked the users account in AD and it looks fine with all the Exchange attributes being populated. I then opened up Exchange Powershell and queried the user and this is what it shows :
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-MailboxStatistics -Database vasa-nho-mdbbv04 | Where { $_.DisplayName -eq "kyle spowart" }
| Format-List LegacyDN, DisplayName, MailboxGUID, DisconnectReason
LegacyDN : /O=VASA/OU=EXCHANGE ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=KYLE SPOWART3B5
DisplayName : Kyle Spowart
MailboxGuid : a10b7463-6c49-453d-bd21-104916c887dd
DisconnectReason : Disabled
I disabled the account via Powershell and used the Connect-Mailbox command to reconnect it but when the daily maintenance task runs on Exchange at about 1AM every morning it disables it again (sometimes – see note at bottom). Here is a list of users that were disabled this morning (can only be viewed through Powershell) :

I’ve disabled users previously and reconnected them but then the next day new users appear in the list along with a few of the ones I thought I’d fixed (some users don’t appear again)
