Thanks Michael. That worked. Too bad you can't use the subject or content keywords. I'm developing a love-hate relationship with the technet library. I love all the info, hate the organization. Apparently the section entitled "restore data using a recovery database" needs to be updated. Thats where I found my original syntax.
I guess I just need to bookmark "exchange 2010 commandlets" and just guess what is a mailbox commandlet and what is a recipient commandlet, because I can't seem to predict that in one try no matter what. -Bill On Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 7:29 AM, Michael B.
