By accident, I deleted a user from SBS 2003 Exchange. I do have a good NTBackup. Is it possible to restore the user emails on my lab server instead of production server? If yes, how?
Thank you.

If you deleted the user the mailbox won't be deleted st away.Its just going to have a red cross.create a new AD account and go ESM right click on the deleted mailbox and attach to the new user.Alternatively use RSG and exmerge to recover the mailbox.

Finally, I restored the whole exchange data to a recovery server. I can mount the mailbox store and I can see all users including the mailbox I want to restore. However, Microsoft "how to use Exmerge" talks about moving the restored back to the production server. Can I restored the mailbox in the recovery server without doing any thing in the production server?
I have tried to use emerge. I have only two users who were created in the recovery server and don't see the user I want to restore. The screenshots can be found here: http://www.howtonetworking
Thank you.
No, no. As I said the restored data does have the user and "I can see all users including the mailbox I want to restore" in the Mailbox Store. For example, the user name is Chuck. You can see him in the first screenshot in the link: http://www.howtonetworking
The second screenshot show only two users: bob lin and administartor who were created when I installed the recovery server.
The question is how to read the restored mailbox from the recovery server. Or do I need to restore the System State also in the recovery server so that I have the user Chuck to read the email?
Thank you for the link, ahmdabdelbaset. I am almost tehre. The problem I have is hat I don't see the new user I just created when I click Reconnect. The new user I created can send and receive email, but I can't see any active users. The only users I can see are administrator template, mobile template and they are disabled. Can someone give more details?
I posted two screenshots in this link: http://www.chicagotech.net
The first screnshot shows I can see all restored mailbox and the new user I just created. For example, the mailbox I want to restore is talk... and teh new user I created is test1.
The second screenshot shows the test1 is not listed in the "Select a new user for this mailbox". Why?
