RE: Mailbox recovery E2K
After thinking about it, you are right. If the server does go down and you delete and create a new mailbox on another server the profile would have to be changed or recreated. The reason they wanted to do this was to reduce email outages while the DR team recovered the old mail and made it available via a pst by exmerge. Or some other method.

RE: Mailbox recovery E2K
We take an approach that may work for you...We have a recovery domain (restore.domain.com) and of course the production domain of domain.com When a mailbox server in domain.com goes down, the following occurs. 1. Diagnose the cause of the failure and repair this cause (for example, replace the hardware at issue). 2. If the OS on the mail server in domain.com is not damaged, then copy TLOGS from production server to recovery server (in restore.domain.com) and then reset the databases on the production mail server... this gives everyone e-mail service... but they won't have their old data and won't have their rules. 3. Now recover the production databases using restore.domain.com and the TLOGS that you copied from the production mail server. 4. Once recovered, copy these dbs back to the production server (but use a different name for the files than the production mail server is using for the dbs).. 5. Dismount the reset dbs on the production server, rename these dbs to something else, rename the recovered dbs (the ones you copied) to the correct names and then remount... your users now have their mail up to the point of your failure and their rules back, but are now missing recent e-mail... 6. Copy the reset dbs back to the restore.domain.com domain and then use exmerge to dump this mail to pst files... then exmerge these pst files back into the production... you users now have all mail restored.

RE: Mailbox Recovery
As long as Exchange server is the same version (sp's and hotfixes) you can use an older OS server for a restore server or vice-versa (upgrade to newer OS). What you will have to do is after the restore, is defrag the db (it will state it in the app log). Run eseutil /d against the priv, and after it finishes, you'll be able to start the IS. -Original Message- From: Dave Vantine [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 10:29 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Mailbox Recovery In the past I have I have used server to restore a single mailbox by installing Exchange as a new site using the original ORG/SITE then restoring the IS and running consistency checker.
