Exchange 2003 SP2 - Public Folder Restore
my SBS 2003 box crashed and the partitiion that stored exchange DB got corrupt and screwed up my Mailbox and Public folder store DBs, it's a simple setup one Storage group, one Mailbox store and one Public Folder store. Using NTBACKUP to backup.
I was able to restore the Mailbox store using RSG/Dialtone method following this guide - http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Exchange-Dial-tone-Restore-Method-Part1.html
My question is how do i restore the Public Folders store? I've been reading i need to build a seperate recovery server, restore to that, copy to PST etc. then copy back to the production server.
Is this still the case with Exchange 2k3 SP2? Gee i hope not..
I read this EE post - http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Server_Software/Email_Servers/Exchange/Q_21251528.html , seems like the person was able to just use NTBACKUP (which is what i use), but then i read in this link - http://ben.goodacre.name/tech/Restore_using_NTBACKUP_%28Exchange%29 ,
quote: "Only restore the public folder store if the previous server is dead or will never be booted whilst connected to the same forest/domain; otherwise public folder and GAL replication issues among others are likely to occur. Choose an empty temporary directory to work from and remember it."
So, what do i do?

Any reasen why you didn't restore the whole mdbdata folder from the backup anyway?
Was the backup to old?
You don't need a different server, you can also attach (a copy off) the old public folder to the current Exchange database and then copy it.

Good luck.

If you have an Exchange offline storage file(.OST) in your local computer, you may also use
Advanced Exchange Recovery
at
http://www.datanumen.com/aexr/
to scan the local .OST file and recover data from it, then save it as a .PST file which can be opened by Outlook as well.
