Hi guys,

I have a small business server (all apps in one box). Anyways i need to
recover 1 mailbox and 2 emails from another mailbox on a NT backup files I
have keep last year.

I have followed this document from MS but i have it someone long and also a
bit more too much information for me to disgest at this point when I have to
get the emails out to the users. I really need some help here.

I got to this part so far:

1. Creating the recovery restore group under System Manager
2. Move the restore database to D:\program files\exchsrvr\recovery restore
group\ (edb and stm files)
3. Created the account for the Exmerge process and add appropriate rights
to it

What I need to know are the following:
1. can i mount the restore group while the production store is mounted?
2. Do i have to run a repair against the restore file (priv1.edb) before
mounted the restore group? I've try running the "Eseutil.exe /p d:/program
files/exchsrvr/recovery storage group/priv1.edb" to do the repair on the
restored database but i kept getting an syntax error but I have try all
different variations but NONE worked. Can anybody point out what I am doing
wrong here?

Thank you,

Helen

Hello again:

The version of exchange on the SBS server is Exchange 2003, SP2.

I have also brought it up to Windows SP 2 on the SBS box.
