I have Exchange 2003 with 2 servers in the same site. Public folders are set to be on one server only (no replication). An incorrectly applied policy wiped out information in several public folders that was older than a certain date and needs to be recovered. Unfortunately, this was not discovered timely enough that we can just restore (overwrite) the public information store. The same policy had deleted item retention on these folders, but nothing shows up when I try recover deleted items on the public fodlers (have ownership permissions, etc).
I have researched and found information on recovering public folders. It appears my options are to restore over the existing public folder store (which would lose changes that happened since then) or restore to another server in a different forest (which is a bit of work for us, as we'd have to create the new domain and everything else). What I'm wondering is there any other strategy I could employ here (for example, possibly employing the other Exchange Server which does not have any public folders)? Is it possible that the items removed through the policy are still recoverable through some other mechanism? Any help, pointers, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bill Mayo Pitt County MIS _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=exchange To subscribe: http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
