Hello Everyone!<br />
<br />
I have had an exchange server crash! &nbsp;There were no backups taken so everything has been rebuilt from scratch. &nbsp;Yes this is truly a nightmare! &nbsp;All I have for the users to try to retrieve old email is their locally stored OST files. &nbsp;there were no personal folders configured so no PST files at all.<br />
<br />
Now that I have the new exchange box up and running is there any way at all that I can recover the old email using the OST files that were stored locally? &nbsp;I will say in advance that I have already tried converting the OST files to PST files using ost2pst, as well as erdemo. &nbsp;niether worked. &nbsp;ost2pst generates an error and erdemo only recovers the last four emails in their entirety and then appears to only have grabbed the email headers for all other mail. &nbsp;Can anyone brighten this DARK situation for me....please...<br />
<br />
Thanks!
