Ok, one thing I should have mentioned is that active directory was also on that server that crashed so that is also lost. I inherited this issue unfortunately but will be installing on separate servers this time around to add a little segmentation. <br />
<br />
So to Adam~ I plan to recreate AD from scratch on the new (separate box-10-11 users) and then try and restore on the new exchange server. Using your method of 2010 first then migrate to 2016...will this still work or do you have a different suggestion in light of the AD issue?<br />
<br />
Thanks all for the assistance!

We recently lost an exchange 2010 server and will be replacing it with a new server running exchange 2016 or 2013. I was able to restore to a directory all of the EDB and transaction log files and also make a local copy on each work station of their ost and pst files. What is the best method for restoring the database for our organization into the new server so the new exchange version has all of the user information that the old version had?
