When I click on the link listed I get an internal DB error..
I'm trying to restore the mailbox using the following sytax
Restore-Mailbox -Identity John A Smith -RecoveryDatabase MyRecoveryDatabase
The problem is that my mailbox has spaces..
Also since this is my first time doing this in 2010 where will my mailbox be restored to?? How can I access it or attach to it?

Try putting the name in quotes. "John A Smith"
Try John_A_Smith
the command should be
Restore-Mailbox -Identity "John A Smith" -RecoveryDatabase MyRecoveryDatabase
however in your OP you said you already tried quotes so i need the EXACT error to know how to help
please copy paste the error or take a screenshot
Restore-Mailbox -Identity "John A Smith" -RecoveryDatabase MyRecoveryDatabase

If exchange 2010 is support to be so much better that why is it so hard to restore a deleted mailbox?
Why would you have to change the GUID's as stated in your article..
BTW, when I run the Get-MailboxStat command what is the System Mailbox that shows up???

Interesting finding....
My Recovery DB has two mailboxes listed. Which show up with I do a Get-MailboxStatistics command..
To matter if I type in the display name, GUID etc.. of the specific mailbox it keep stating the user "bla" could not be found in the recover DB..
When I tried to recovery all items in the Recovery DB is did run but only saw the other mailbox???
Bad backups? Missing user account???
Any thoughts
