Thetmanvn Thanks

the tools that you sugest me are all well payed, is there any tool freeware for these cases?

1. It seems there's no freeware tool to convert edb to pst at the moment

2. If your old server can go online, you can use Microsoft Exchange Server Mailbox Merge Wizard  to recover your mailbox

no the old server can´t go online i have to recover the mailboxes trough one of the process that you mention or other way that someone can tell me.
So try to reinstall exchange and use How to use Recovery Storage Groups in Exchange Server 2003 tutorial from Microsoft.

We can build a recovery environment and Install Exchange 2003 with the most recent Service Pack.
We now would have to run a command on the .edb file to get the Old Orgnization and AG name in case you do not remember.
find /i "ou-" (location of the .edb file) and then stop the command prompt after few second once its initated.
Once everything is up we can dismount the Current store and remove the files and get the ones we have from the old server and before mounting we have to go to the properties of the Database and check the box "This Database can be overwritten by a Restore".

If the issue is resolved can close the issue and distribute the points...... :-)
Any updates ?
