I don't agree with your premise that if you can't solve something on your own you must be stupid. If management believes that it may be party due to you propagating the idea. Additionally, having MCSEs on staff is not something I'd brag about here. I know lots of certificate holders that can't get it done in the real world.

First of all, why did you change the header. Secondly, we have been able to fix all the problems we've had. In a pervious thread, I said how MS wanted $120,000 a year for the PSS program. Do you have any idea how hard that is to sell to management with the talent we have. We're not a stupid company, I just want to fix everything within the IS group so WE (read that my group) don't look stupid. BWT, I'm the only MCSE in IS and Exchange isn't one of my certifications.

You don't think I don't know that! I used to work for the Henry J. Krapper Company, and when we needed outside help, they gave us a pencil and told us to go into the bathroom and 'work it out.' All kidding aside, the attitude at work is that we have about 50+ MCSE's working for us in various areas of the company. If on of my staff or I can't fix it, someone in our company should be able to.

Wow...someone has issues..... Knowing where and when to get expert advice is just another tool (and a very important one) in any knowledgable admin's toolbox.

A very pricey acronym. They wanted $120K a year from us to start. That's a lot for a 200 person company.

I would highly advise you to call PSS. If anyone can fix this, they can. If your execs email is as important as they think it is, they will be willing to fork over the $245 Seriously, Call them -----Original Message----- From: Victor Sanchez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 28, 2001 11:20 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Is it possible to open the edb file and recover a users email ? the backups had an unfortunete accident.

Heh sorry.. I've posted this a few times and never got a response.. Here goes again. :) "I was setting up a new Exchange server to replace our old one.... During this adventure we tried to move the mailboxes over with changing the home server in each users advanced properties. It kept giving me a MAPI error.. This was late night and we just deicided we would make everyones new email boxes on the server by hand. I've been logging on to the old server as each user to copy their emails from the old server to a personal folder and then back to the new email server.. Unfortunetly on the old server some peoples properities in their Advanced tab has their home server set to the new one. I tried to set it back but keep getting a MAPI error. I just want to log into the old server and recover a handfull of peoples contacts/emails/calanders ect. Old server - NT 4.0 sp6 exchange 5.5 sp3 new server - nt 4.0 sp6 exchange 5.5 sp 4" It's frustrating.. The old server has their home server set to the new one, but it never moved over the actualy email/calanders. I'm hoping they are not lost forever.. Some people would not like that. Thanx for all the help. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 28, 2001 10:52 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Is it possible to open the edb file and recover a users email?
