I am only missing a few emails out of a couple of the log files. It is exchange 2000 and it is on my home network so this isn't mission critical which is why I can screw it up and not worry too much about it.
Since Exchange runs the log files every time the store is mounted I was hoping I could just copy them back in and have it apply the emails out of the log files into the IS. What do you mean by Exmerge the data out? Would I do this against the IS or the log files? -Mike http://www.uselessthoughts.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ---------- > From: Edgington, Jeff > Reply To: Exchange Discussions > Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 8:46 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: Log File > > Well..
