In Exchange 2007 and 2010 the use with Clean-MailboxDatabase
cmdlet we get mailboxes visible in the GUI without having to wait
for the maintenance schedule.
in Exchange 2013 this cmdlet no longer exists but the same problem
persists: disconnected mailboxes are not visible immediately after being
removed /disabled "Clean-MailboxDatabase" has been replaced by Update-StoreMailboxState,
which forces the mailbox store state in the Exchange store to be synchronized
with Active Directory.
