Re: Need Help Restoring a Deleted pub.edb in 5.5
FOLDERS RESTORED! Thanks again for your help! Boy, do I feel stupid! Please don't pile on -- I'm suffering enough SHAME and GUILT already... Here's my sad story: On the Friday after Thanksgiving (office closed, I thought I would show a little initiative and finally do that ESEUTIL work I had been putting off for 18 months. I had shut down Exchange and copied my on my 8gb priv.edb and 11mb pub.edb to a backup hard drive. Because the ESEUTIL process aborted halfway through the process on priv.edb, I decided to instead just put things back the way they were and go home to discuss the day's tragic events with my good friend JACK DANIELS. :) (Maybe I will revisit ESEUTIL over the Christmas holidays, but that's another story.) Anyway, when I came back to work on Monday, I started getting reports that the Public Folders were gone. For reasons still unknown to me, I must have either MOVED or DELETED pub.edb from its original location. Exchange had evidently rebuilt a pub.edb file, but it was just 2 mb with no visbile data and only a couple of default folders. (The original entries for the Public Folders were still showing up in Exchange Administrator for what it's worth.) I found the copy of 11 mb pub.edb that I had made on Friday. What is the best/easiest procedure for a moron like myself to get the file back into Exchange? _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchangetext_mode=lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Need Help Restoring a Deleted pub.edb in 5.5
Have people stored any new info in the public folders since then? No. This is not a concern. If you slide the old pub.edb in there, the new work will be gone. You probably will be better off restoring that old pub.edb to another server (in a separate Exchange organization) and then exporting/importing data from that other server to the production server. Only 1 Exchange Server in this organization. If it is as easy as just sliding the file back to MDBDATA, that would be excellent. What other steps are necessary to do this? _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchangetext_mode=lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Need Help Restoring a Deleted pub.edb in 5.5
I never said I was doing an offline defrag of the pub.edb. I was doing an offline defrag of the 8.65 GB priv store. For reasons still not clear to me (but certainly by human error), the pub.edb file was inadvertently deleted. _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchangetext_mode=lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
