    I think you best bet is to remove those entries from the ExchangeMailboxEntry table.

    Yep, that will work.  To stop the 41141's just delete the provisioning groups

We are also deleting a number of archives for users who have left, so they are marked for deletion and running the SQL query I can see that the number of items remaining for deletion are about 1.9 million and are coming down all the time, albeit slowly.  Can I remove the provisioning task while all that is going on?

Thanks!
