Siegfried:

Just to follow-up on this issue, script finally recovered after contacting
PSS and several restore attempts.  Here was the resolution:

>>Restore the Private information store from the server that housed that
mailbox to a contingency.  Started/shutdown IS and moved priv out.

>>Restore the Public information store from the server where the script was
executed to a contingency.  Started/shutdown IS.

>>moved the restored priv.edb to the same location as the restored pub and
ran Isinteg - patch

>>Script retrieved through the Agents tab from the restored mailbox.

Regards,
Louise

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.
