RE: getting data from priv.edb
Read the white paper on Disaster Recovery from the Microsoft Support site. This will tell you what you can do.

My company uses Exchange 5.5 with less than 100 users. One of the drives on the server went down and the directory (dir.edb) was lost. We have no backups (yes, I know, shame on us). My question is, can the data (the users' saved messages) be extracted from priv.edb? I ran isinteg -pri -dump, and the result contained a section titled Dump of the mailbox table, with entries for each mailbox in our site. For each mailbox there are about 14 lines of information, followed by a line saying: Error: 1 database retrieve error on current record. Can anyone tell me what this error means? Should I be seeing individual mail messages in this dump file? Is there any other way I can extract my user's messages from this file? Thanks for any help.

RE: getting data from priv.edb
That was a little quick, but that is what you should do. You are in serious trouble right now. The best thing you could do is put up the $250 and get this done right. -Original Message- From: Martin Blackstone Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 2:50 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: getting data from priv.edb Call PSS -Original Message- From: Lewis Kapell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 11:16 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: getting data from priv.edb Sorry if this message is a duplicate; I tried sending it before but I'm not sure if it went through.

RE: getting data from priv.edb
Call PSS is definitely step 1, but let me also ask -- any chance your users are using Offline Folders? If so, you should have them log into Outlook in Work Offline mode and immediately export their Offline Folders to .PST files. At the very least you'll have saved that information. And call PSS. :) -Ben- Ben M.

RE: getting data from priv.edb
First of all, did you check if your databases were consistent? If they were, then you should not need to run isinteg on them. All you need to do is install and Exchange server with the same Org, Site, and server name. Make sure you apply the service pack that you had previously installed before the drive going south. After that, you can actually clear out the mdbdata directory, and throw in your priv and pub file. Try starting the IS and you should get an error stating that you need to run an isinteg - patch. Go ahead and do that and now you should have a good store running. Run DS/IS to populate the directory with the users mailbox names and then run exmerge to get all of their data out. Hopefully everything goes well.
