Thanks Michael,
I haven't used EWS before so I'll check that out and see how I get on. Ideally I want to script the process as much as possible so that there will be minimal human interaction (and thus errors)!

It's not available in shipped product. Not that hard to do via EWS. Regards, Michael B. Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Nagle, Patrick [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2011 10:11 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Recovery Database to PST Hi All, We used to use Exmerge to PST files out of Exchange 2003 "Recovery Storage Group" databases. As this is no longer possible I'm trying to get as close as possible to this in Exchange 2010. What I've done so far is using HP Data Protector, restore the database files and logs to a folder on an Exchange Mailbox server. I created a recover database from these files using: New-MailboxDatabase -Name "Restored DB" -Server TestMBX01 -EDBFilePath "D:\RestoredDB\DB1.edb" -Logfolderpath "D:\RestoredDB" -Recovery And mounted: Mount-Database "Restored DB" I created a resource mailbox called "Recovery Mailbox" and restored my mailbox into it: Restore-Mailbox -Identity "Recovery Mailbox" -TargetFolder "RecoveredMail" -RecoveryMailbox "Patrick" -RecoveryDatabase "Restored DB" -Confirm:$false Copy all the mail in that mailbox to a PST: New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox "Recovery Mailbox" -FilePath "\\TestMBX01\d$\PSTs\patrick.pst <file:///\\TestMBX01\d$\PSTs\patrick.pst> " -IsArchive When the status has changed to completed, I run this to delete all content in the mailbox: Search-Mailbox "Recovery Mailbox" -DeleteContent -confirm:$false My problem is that the folder structure remains. Does anyone know how to delete the folder structure in PowerShell or an alternative method to this?
