Thank you very much.

Fortunately, I'm not using BLB.  I'll proceed with my SMR.  If I can't get
it back through agents tab, I'll try the decoder and/or mdbvue .  I'll let
you know how I made out.

Thanks again,
Louise

Subject: RE: Recovering an Event Script from a Mailbox

It's been quite a while when I was playing with this stuff and I
remember that it is not trivial.

Let's see what I can remember... The Exchange 5.5 Scripting agent script
itself is stored as a hidden item in the folder it is applied to (in
your case: the particular mailbox on Server A). Another second config
item, also hidden, is created on the server the script is supposed to be
executed (in your case Server B) in the system folder Event_Config (or
similar - can't remember the correct name unfortunately).

So, if you just want to get the script code back then try to restore the
whole mailbox store on a recovery server [1] and use either a debugging
tool [2] or try to connect with Outlook and see if you can get it via
the Agents tab.

[1] Note that if you use BLB [3] you might not be able to restore
Scripting Agents. Only if you use an Exchange backup aware product to do
a full IS backup/restore you have a chance.
[2] Either MicroEye ScriptDorector
(http://www.microeye.com/scriptdirector) or the Microsoft Agent Editor
(used to be in the Exchange 5.5 SDK or BackOffice Resource Kit 4.5) or
plain mdbvu32.exe (comes with Exchange on the setup CD). But the latter
needs to be used CAREFULLY.
[3] BLB => Brick Level Backup like it is offered with ArcServe, Veritas
and other backup software.
