Unable to mount exchange store
This is the scenarios:
SBS 2003 server stolen from client. I have a backup using ntbackup. Installed a "restore" server with the same name, ip address and domain name as the original server. Have restored the .edb and .stm files to the default location even though they were not in the default on the stolen box. Updated the "restore" server to what i think the stolen server was at with rehards to service packs and updates. When i try and mount the bd i get the following error:
The MAPI call 'OpenMsgStore' failed with the following error:
The Microsoft Exchange Server computer is not available. Either there are network problems or the Microsoft Exchange Server computer is down for maintenance.
The MAPI provider failed.

Befor you restore need to check the state of database whether its dirty or clean shut down using Eseutil /mh "Path of databse"

State is dirty shutdown. Will it matter to continue if i cannot restore the system state?

Before i continue with this process which can take very long, if i get it to a clean shutdown state, will i be able to continue if i cannot restore the system state as stated by cgaliher?

Hi jimmithakkar, thanks for the link but I ask again, if I can't restore the system state will i be able to get the db mounted if i get it to a clean shutdown state?
