Do you have a backup of the store? It sounds like you're trying to do a
restore entirely from the client OSTs, or am I missing something?
Did you do anything to the Exchange server other than creating a new blank
store?
What was the event log saying before it died? And after the new store was
created?
What Exchange services were/are working and not working ?
Did you preserve a copy of the old store?

Subject: Exchange Recovery Mode
I have a question, then mabye something to make everyone chuckle. My
Exchange server died, I couldn't remount the store. So I started a new
store. Went around to the client machines (Outlook 2k3) and most of them
hadn't synched up to the server yet. So I moved all email into Archive
Folders, Contacts, Tasks, Calendars, etc..
Then synched up with the Exchange server. Took the machines out of cache
mode. This of course made everything NOT in the archive folders
disappear. Then I moved from the archive folders back into the main
account.. Put the machine back in cache mode.
But still each time I restart Outlook, I'm told that Exchange is in
recovery mode. Can someone point me in the right direction?
So something to make you chuckle.. This is perfect storm week. My
exchange/fax server crashed, backups were corrupt. Still no idea what
caused the crash (That includes Dell Gold support, and MS assistance.
A switch in another state that routes are phones went down.
AT&T Regional Network went down, taking internet with it.
This has been a fun week ;) Only 30 more mintes for something to break
in this work week.
