Unstub Command Line Tool
After removing a user from a storage management policy, email messages which had previously been stubbed are not automatically unstubbed. To unstub a message use the unstub command line tool available on the AMSVaultBox.
The unstub command line can be found at the AMS client installation folder.

NOTE
If you choose the-all option to unstub all users, the unstub tool will execute for only the on-premises users who are not members of a storage management policy.
- Cloud users will not be processed.
- Users who are members of a storage management policy will also not be processed.
If you attempt to unstub a cloud user by specifying their primary SMTP address, you will receive an error stating the tool is unable to find the user with that SMTP email address. In verbose logging an exception is logged that the property homeMDB is not found. This is expected.
To unstub by primary SMTP addresses that are listed on the input file, you need to prepare the file first. The file should consist of a single primary SMTP address per line. One way to produce this file is using Exchange PowerShell.
Example:
Get-MailboxDatabase -identity ExchangeServ | Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Select-Object PrimarySmtpAddress > PrimarySMTPAddressList.txt
The above command lists the primary SMTP address of all mailboxes on the mailbox database named "ExchangeServ" store outputs that to the file PrimarySMTPAddressList.txt.
