asked on 

can I mount am Exchange 2007 database in Exchange 2010

Last week we upgraded Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010.

Now we find we need to re-import some of the mailboxes from the 2007 database.

Can I mount the 2007 database in 2010 ?


What I did:

took the edb file from Exchange 2007

Ensured it was in a Clean Shutdown State

Copied it to the exchange 2010 server

Ran the following EMS script:

New-MailboxDatabase -Recovery -Name “RecoveryDatabase01” -Server NEW-MAIL -EdbFilePath “C:\source-edb-file\mailbox database.edb” -LogFolderPath “C:\source-edb-file\logs”



I have tried to mount the .edb file but it fails with error

MapiExceptionCallFailed.

Unable to mount Database - (hr=0x80004005, ec=-1213)

I have deleted the logs and re-tried but same error.

Any Ideas Please,

Regards,

Paul

There are 15 mailboxes to extract

The exchange 2007 server has been upgraded to Exchange 2010.

If I create a new Exchange 2007 server  whats the best way to mount the edb file  into it.

Thanks for the prompt responses.

Another option is a EDB to PST tool such as Stellar Recovery.

Then inject those PSTs into the new mailboxes in 2010.

Thanks for all the help guys,


I do not have access to the domain controller so the /recoverserver switch was not an option.

What I ended up doing was:

Recreated exchange using the same organizational name.

Created RSG and attached the last good backup to it ( a standalone edb file)

created new users (same display name) as the mailboxes I wanted.

Merged across .

I still need to connect a 32bit PC with Outlook and remote Exchange tools so I can create the PST files.

Why MS makes so many of it tasks unbelievably complicated and torturous is beyond my understanding.

I really do wonder about their motives at times.

 
Thanks again for the assistance.

Regards

Ya, I agree with you Paul. It is always complicated to get data from Exchange. Mailbox still easy to get it, when it comes to Public folder, things are very complicated. Good to see you were able to get the data and thanks for points as well.
