linking existing mailbox to a new user

Hi all,

i have set a test environment with a DC-MBX servers. I made it same as my prod, the difference is that domain name of both are different. i imported users to test env from prod. restored prod exchange mailbox databases to test environments and mounted them.
i see that Get-MailboxStatistics command show me the users and item counts. but when i look in Exchange console in Recipient configuration/Mailbox there are no users, as this is fresh new test environment. when i create a new mailbox it does not see the mailbox from restored database, it creates new mailbox.
my questions:
1- how can i get mailboxes from restored database which are now mounted and healthy?
2- what should i do so that when i open outlook for a specific user i get his emails/items from restored database?

thanks in advance

Hi,

check this one

http://exchangeserverpro.com/restore-individual-mailbox-exchange-2010
i think it is not my case, because i mounted database in a normal way, not a recovery database.
i solved the issue, the parameters -LinkedDomainController  -LinkedMasterAccount  were not useful in my case, i found different cmdlet for my scenario

[PS] C:\>Connect-Mailbox -Identity "Alan Reid" -Database MB-HO-01 -User Alan.Reid

I believe my suggestion to use the connect-Mailbox command did in fact work therefore I should get the points.
