How to change Mailbox store path at existing user profile in AD?

Hello
I've got the next problem:
It was created a new Mailbox store because the old store was corrupted. In AD exists about 150 users. The path in every user profile is set  to the old Mailbox store. How can i change it to a new store?

Question 2
The corrupted mailbox store is about 80Gb,  eseutil /p is workin already about 40 hours and it seems there is no progress (hangs at 60% Deleteing unicode fixup table). In Task manager process is working. Is it normal? What i should do? Just wait?
Thank u for unswers

johannortje,
will this algorithm work with dismounted old store? ie store FROM (current path) is dismounted cos of corruption, store TO is working. Task is to just change the path to mailbox store in AD for every user. Data from corrupted store is no needed.

If you cannot mount the old store as it is corrupted you have an issue as it needs to be up to move the mailboxes out. Therefore I would try to repair the files using the link previously provided or you could restore from a good working backup.

You could also purchase 3rd party software that may be able to extract the mailboxes from the .edb files even when they are not opperational:
