Re: Recovering Deleted user mailbox.
The problem is, the Mailbox GUID associated to the mailbox you are trying to
recover is not the same as the user you recreated in AD. (even though the
userid is the same)
Here is a way to get around this:
Exmerge will throw an error something like: Cannot identify the user with
MSExchMailboxGuid of {foo}, LegacyExchangeDn is: {name of your deleted user}
Now it gets tricky. Copy the MSExchMailboxGUID that ExMerge displays and
paste it into notepad.
\FE\DF\1D\80\CC\1D\8CJ\AA\7E\F1\E9\DDk\A9\2F
Now, remove all of the backslashes:
FE DF 1D 80 CC 1D 8CJ AA 7E F1 E9 DDk A9 2F
Now, notice above how some of the character groupings above are groups of
three, instead of two. We must separate the rightmost bit from the other
two:
FE DF 1D 80 CC 1D 8C J AA 7E F1 E9 DD k A9 2F
Now, for the single characters above that we separated off, we need to
replace that ASC II character with it's hex value. Note that the hex values
for upper case characters is different than the lower case value:
FE DF 1D 80 CC 1D 8C 4A AA 7E F1 E9 DD 6B A9 2F
Now, open ADSIEdit/Domain and locate cn=username where username is the name
for the user who's mailbox you are trying to restore. Locate the
MSExchMailboxGUID attribute, and paste your reformatted GUID (example above)
into this field.
Restart the SA on your exchange server, and re-run the import (step 2) in
Exmerge. You should now be able import the mail because the
MSExchMailboxGUID of the exported mailbox from backup now matches
MSExchMailboxGUID of your "new" user.
This is a complicated procedure, but I've used this many times and it DOES
work. Ket me know if you have any other questions.

Re: Recovering Deleted user mailbox.
These steps will work but....
You can just mount the recovered DB in a new Storage Group (assuming you
have a spare storage group). Then you can run the cleanup agent and then
just reconnect the mailbox of the deleted user to a new temp account in AD.
This works. I have done it many times.

Re: Recovering Deleted user mailbox.
I'm a touch confused, lack of exchange skills here.
I have recovered to a spare server using a recovery storage group, not sure
on mounting the recovered store in the storage group available on this
server.

Re: Recovering Deleted user mailbox.
The RSG will not help you as you will not be able to get the user data out
due to a missing mailbox GUID (as explained earlier)
You can do the following:
- Dismount the DB in the RSG
- Create a new (normal) Storage Group on one of your Exchange servers with
the same name as the original SG.
- Create a mailbox store in that SG (I don't think that name is that
important. I might be wrong though). Make sure the DB file name matches that
of the DB in the RSG. Don't mount it.
- Move the recovered DB files into the newly created SG and mount it ( I
think you may have to check the "can be overwritten by restore checkox)
- All the mailboxes will be disconnected. Find your mailbox and reconnect it
to a temp account in AD. Exmerge/Outlook out the data
- Dismount and delete the DB, Mailbox Store and SG
I may have missed some small steps somehwere but you should be able to work
it out
I have done this many times with customers. If I remember correctly this is
not a supported method but it does work.
afaik there are 3 options when you run into this RSG problem:
1. Solution above - works fine but MS may have issues with it
2. Hack the mailboxguid (expalined earlier in the thread) - works but
requires restart of SA
3. 3rd party tool like Ontrack PowerControls - good but costs an arm and a
leg
I hope this helps
