Maybe his way will work (I have great respect for McBee) but the way I always recommended doing it is to clone a DC and then install Exchange using the setup /DisasterRecovery switch.

Did you do this recovery off-network by cloning or building a new domain controller? Is the recovery server name identical to the original? On your recovery server are the drive and path settings identical to the source? Did you delete the database and log files before restoring?

He hard deleted them and, even with the DumpsterAlwaysOn reghack, I can't recover them. I had previously built an Exchange recovery server following Jim McBee's steps in Exchange 2000 Server 24 Seven. I recovered the priv1.edb, priv1.stm and log to the recovery server. The server has drives and partitions the same as Live server and I recovered the above files to the same locations on the recovery server. Unfortunately, I cannot get the store to mount properly. I have tried the eseutil /cc command and it appears to be working, but then halts with error #939586621. I also tried eseutil /cm to view the contents of the restore.env per q253914 but it returns the same error. I also tried other eseutil switches but no luck. I'm at a loss as to where to proceed from here.
