Sambee might be better to answer this but I thing you can dismount the information store, copy the edb file from the old server, mount the information store and start re-attaching malboxes.

Yes. It is non-destructive.

Hi<br />
<br />
I run an sbs 2003 at home, primarily for testing, but i started using it for emails, etc and it looks like the motherboard in the device has died. &nbsp;I haven't got a backup of the server.<br />
<br />
I know the disks are ok as i have fired them up to get data off. &nbsp;Is there an easy way i can restore the exchange db to another exchange install to get all the outlook data off?

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.
