Exchange 2007 Mailbox Recovery

I restored a storage group on Exchange Server 2007 Sp1 Rollup 6. I have attempted to merge one of the restorered mailboxes to an empty mailbox via the Exchange Toolbox. When I do this I receive the following error Moving messages. Failed to copy messages to the destination mailbox store with error: An unknown error has occurred., error code: -1056749164. Via google I found out this is a know error message that has do with a mailbox that has over 5,000 items and was fixed in Rollup 8 for SP1. I decided to update to SP2 and tested again. Same error. I tried restoring other mailboxes with less than 5,000 items to the same mailbox with succes. I am at loss. Any help would be greatlly appreciated.

Exchange restore needs few rights being sought out.
1. Your account needs to have "Manage Full Access" on the mailbox of the user on whom you are trying the commadn and where you are going to put the data.
2. Use the 'BadItemLimit' count to about 1000.

Vahiid,

You rock. Thanks. The user had a bunch of folders that weren't necessary for what I was looking for so instead of exluding files I just ended up grabbing the folders that I needed and I was able to sucesfully recover the contents. I am guessing there were folders in his mailbox that were in fact corrupt.

For instance I ran something like this:

restore-mailbox -RSGMailbox 'Full Name' -RSGDatabase 'Recovery Storage Group\DB Name' -id 'mbxrestore' -TargetFolder Recovery -IncludeFolders \Inbox,\Sent Items,\Deleted\
