I can't seem to mount a database I copied across to a test environment
I am trying to replicate our current exchange 2007 production server in a xenserver test environment segmented from the live network.
I recreated our domain, i installed exchange 2007 software, I restored a copy of our *.edb and log files. However when I go to try and mount it, console wont allow me. It will only allow me to mount a NEW database.
Is there anyway for me to mount an existing copy of the database?

But, the database can only be restored within the same organization on to a different server. If you have setup different organization, you will not be allowed to mount the database.
