Take a full online backup. Shut down the Information Store cleanly. Take a full offline backup (so you have a backup copy in case you do something stupid again--Sorry, I couldn't resist) of the full Information Store, both private and public stores. Take another if you want to be really sure. Delete the log files. Replace the pub.edb file with the old one.
That ought to work.

Only 1 Exchange Server in this organization. If it is as easy as just sliding the file back to MDBDATA, that would be excellent. What other steps are necessary to do this? _________________________________________________________________ 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: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ 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: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
