I finally finished my mailbox recovery server yesterday and restored and verified my backups today for the first time ever! I was so happy I finally got it to work I restored it again. My thanks to all on this list who contributed to my success.

When you run the DSIS consistency adjuster, there is a check box to "Synchronize with the directory and create new entries for mailboxes that do not have a corresponding directory entry". Guess what box I did not check! <sheepish grin> Checked that box, ran the adjuster again and surprise, surprise, I've got Recipients! Anyway - I am happier now that I've verified backups successfully on both of my DR servers.

I had the exact problem you are experiencing except with my Public store. I found that if I went into Exchange Admin on the Recovery server, went to Servers, Public Information Store Properties and on the Instances tab, added the Public Folders on the left side to the Folders on the Information Store side, I could access them from within Exchange Admin and a mail client once I set permissions. Hope this helps. Stephen J.

I have an Exchange 5.5 (sp4) server running on Win2k (SP2). I have built a recovery server using same OS and SP levels. I created a new site using exact same Org and Site names on my recovery server. I restored the IS from my production server from tape to the recovery server, ran isinteg -patch and ran the DSIS consistency checker per the MS whitepapers. The problem is, none of my mailboxes show up in the Recipients container. I can see them listed under Private Information Store - Mailbox Resources, but I cannot view their properties from there. I get the error message "The object cannot be found in the directory, this may be because replication has not completed" when I try to see their properties. I checked the event log and it says that I have restored the private information store and public information store. Anyone know what I did wrong?
