Exchange 2007 - Restore

Hi,

We have had our exchange server die, I have rebuilt the server and restored the mailbox databases to it too. I have also run eseutil /p to ensure they have been repaired and not displaying dirty shutdown.

The mailboxes are now displaying within disconnected mailbox list. I need to now restore them back to their old mailstore database. Can you please provide some sort of help to achieve this.

Regards,

introlux

Note: the users are also displaying within mailbox but have false set to mailbox attribute.

I believe there is active users connected to a corrupted mailbox. Within Exchange Management, it is showing the user list but when you double click on the mailbox you get an error. I need to somehow without deleting the user attach this mailbox to the user.

Any idea?

Have you considered to import PST's back into the users mailboxes?

Is that a possibility?

How you recover the server? Did you used recover switch?

I used backup exec to restore the mailstores with its logs. I then run eseutil /p and then mounted the datastores.

This is all I have done so far.
