[Joseph L. Casale]

You don’t need the original DCs…
Its honestly not that much work, but it does take a few moments.

Yeh some bright spark got rid of the original dc's so we don't have the domain 
the exchange was part of

All we have is the exchange servers vhds

As they thought they had recovered everything and started a new sight their 
backups and dr

Suffice to say the first thing I have sorted with them is to make sure 
everything is now backed up

Subject: [Exchange] Extracting mail from edb files

Hi

I have been asked to look at this problem and thought I had it licked but no

An offices entire server farm was destroyed by water damage
They had backups
They decided to setup a new ad domain restored file data, restored sql data
But for exchange they extracted PST files from the edb contain on the vhdx 
images they had just before the disaster using stellar edb to PST  And imported 
them into fresh mailboxes on a new exchange 2013 setup

Now 6 months down the line they have discovered that all mailboxes are missing 
a years worth of attachments.
They have presented me with 3 vhdx files and two differenceing files for the 
drives with the databases and the logs on them
I have mounted the vhdx and used stellar against the edb and still the last 
years attachments are missing

Is it possible that they are in the logs or the differnceing disks?

Or is there a better tool than the stellar one to extract

Now I didn't work on the original setup so don't know why the differnecing 
disks were created or can't say if a tool was used to remove the attachments

But what I do have is all the vhd's for the virtual exchange server ( they only 
retained one copy )

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks

Support for .Net 4.6.2
Exchange Server 2013 and Exchange Server 2016 now fully support .Net 4.6.2 on 
all supported operating systems. Customers who have already updated their 
Exchange servers to .Net 4.6.1 can proceed with the upgrade to 4.6.2 before or 
after installing the cumulative updates released today. Customers who are still 
running .Net 4.5.2 are advised to deploy Cumulative Update 4 or Cumulative 
Update 15 prior to upgrading to .Net 4.6.2.
The upgrade to .Net 4.6.2, while strongly encouraged, is optional with these 
releases. As previously disclosed, the cumulative updates released in our March 
2017 quarterly updates will require .Net 4.6.2.
