RE: repair mailbox
One other thing that you may want to consider is that you are going to have to wait until your Directory has synchronized before you can add his mailbox back in. Conversely, you can also follow Q179065 and adjust that value in the registry. Forcing a directory update also won't hurt. Also, you have to be careful with Exmerge (not careful meaning you will mess up the file). Exmerge depends on the directory name to be successful. For the export, it doesn't matter - it creates the pst file with the format of directoryname.pst. However, in order to import successfully, the new directory name must either match exactly the old directory name (on the new mailbox I mean), OR, you can just rename the .pst file to match the new directory name. Either way should work fine. As a last comment, if you are at all unsure about what you are doing, it might be wise to call PSS (Microsoft Product Support Services). It costs $245, but they will be able to step you through the process and remove any doubts about what you are doing. Heck, they may even have a solution that doesn't require you to do this. Up to you.
