Sounds good to me, you can restore the information store to an offline Exchange server as long as the server has the same Org and Site names, and make sure that database paths match.
Since the server that you are talking about actually used to be part of the system, everything should match. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cooke, Brian Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 2004 3:04 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Restoring an old 5.5 mailbox We have finished recently the migration from 5.5 to 2003. Last weekend we officially switched over to Native mode. Today we had an issue where a user is requesting data from sent items from last years backup. We are using Veritas Backup Exec. I'm not sure oh all that would be involved into trying to retrieve this mailbox. Obviously we can't add the 5.5 box back to the organization. We have our old 5.5 box sitting off line, my thought process would be that we would have to bring up the old 5.5 server off the network, restore the tape to the server, exmerge the mailbox from the store to a PST, and then search through the contents for the requested e-mail. Is there anything that I'm missing? Thanks in advance for all your help. Thanks, Brian Cooke Systems Engineer U.S. Inspect _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
