Mounting an Exhchange Database
Hello,
I recently had a Win 2k8 R2 server with Exchange 2k10 crash on me. I have a database that is in a dirty shutdown state. I managed to get the DB into a clean shutdown state but I am still unable to mount the database.
The previous server (domain) was ABConline.net, upon rebuilding the server it is now ABConline.local. I believe this change is prohibiting me from being able to mount the DB. I have read that I may need to used ADSIedit to change the LegacyDN attribute. I have tried to do this but was still unable to mount the DB.
I am unsure I used the correct information for the LegacyDN value. Looking for any advice or help in getting this DB mounted.
Thanks

I tried moving the log files.
This is the error message I receive when the log files are in the original location

Yes Exchange 2010 was running on the only DC for the domain abconline.net. So only option is to use 3rd party software now?
If you have a backup, you can try restoring from backup. Otherwise, your only choice is 3rd party software.

Thank you. Had to get a third-party software application and cut out PSTs
You are welcome.
Move all log files to another location and try to mount it.
Thank You!
