I have a single exchange server 2013 standard. Exchange and it's database are installed on a single partition (i have 2 partitions, the other one is system).
I have been doing multiple imports via new-import request, and today i ran out of space on the database partition. i have increased partition size, but started getting "Failed to communicate with the mailbox database" error when i try to do anything with imports, exports, and a few other commands.
I was unable to stop, remove or view statistics on import requests. i dismounted the database, and that allowed me to remove all requests, but i am still unable to do anything regarding imports and exports.
Here is an example: [PS] C:\Windows\system32>New-MailboxImportRequest -Mailbox vsmaj -FilePath \206.156.102.185\mail\VSMAJLAG.PST -v
