[ActiveDir] OT: Recovering deleted calendar items (Outlook 2003/Exchange 2003)

[Jason B]

We had a user try to synch his new pocket PC and in doing so, he lost ALL his calendar items.  Everything else (email, tasks, etc) is fine, but all his appointments and everything is gone.  We are on Exchange 2003, Outlook 2003 and have deleted item retention set to 60 days.  I’ve never dealt with someone doing this before.  First thing we did was see if the items were in the deleted item recovery:  nope.  Does anyone know a quick way to get his calendar items back (no they aren’t on the pocket PC either)?  Or am I going to have to restore from tape to a RSG and exmerge?
