Is this an online restore? Don't restore the directory. Restore only the IS to that server. After the restore is done, run the IS/DS consistency adjuster. Go the mailboxes you need, assoc them with your account and open in Outlook.

I'm having real difficulties recovering this data. I used an old PC and installed NT4+SP6, member server, same name as old server. The Ex5.5 install needs to be part of a domain, so I join the server to our domain. Install Ex5.5, apply sp4. Same Site and Org as before. I create an account and can login with with outlook. >From another server (one with the tape drive and backupexec + exchange agent) I start the restore of the directory and store. what is the next step ? I tried starting services but got error 1067, I did some eseutil runs, but to be frankl, I don't really know what I;m foing with this util. I've just started the restore again, so I hope to have better error messages to post in a hour or so. any help is appreciated, I have to find some emails which have possible legal ramifications. Is it possible to extract data with out exchange ? direct from the database ?
