Missing Mailbox Store

2003-02-28 Thread The Geek Q
I have a situation where I have two E2K systems, front-end, back-end.
The (default) mailbox store was placed on a remote NAS, that is now gone.
There was only one mailbox on it, that was used only for testing.
Now I need to add users to this E2K system.
But the Exchnage Mailbox Store/Public Store do not mount, and there is no M
drive. So I get all types of errors about W3SVC not logging and services
failing because there is no Virtual M: drive.
I really dont need the old mailbox and store, but I do need to add some
mailboxes to this server. The issue being when I create a new mailstore and
try to mount it or the Public Folder Store I get an error. ~The operation
failed due to an uspecified internal error. Try restrating the Exchange
Information services and try again~
I know this is due to no M: drive bing found, but how do I get  the Virtual
drive to mount when there is no (default) Mailbox store.
I have tried to delete the (default) Mailbox Store, but t when I reboot the
E2K box it just reappears.
What can I do to mount a mail store on this system?
