Copy Exchange database files from the current path location to the
path location for a different logical database, storage group, or
server If you use this method, the logical storage group and
database names do not have to match, but the database filenames must
match those defined in the destination. You may rename database files
as necessary to make them match.
For example, database files named "Priv1.edb" and "Priv1.stm" are
associated with the logical database "Mailbox Store (Server A)" in
storage group "Server-A-SG1" on Server A. You create a Storage Group
called "Server-B-SG1 on Server B, and create a database called "SG1-
MB1" in that storage group. The file paths listed for the SG1-MB1
database are "F:\Databases\SG1-MB1.edb" and "F:\Databases\SG1-
MB1.stm."
You copy Priv1.edb and Priv1.stm from D:\Databases on Server A to F:
\Databases on Server B. You then rename Priv1.edb to SG1-MB1.edb and
rename Priv1.stm to SG1-MB1.edb.

Hello,

A couple of weeks back I had my exchange box take its last breath and die. I
successfully restore from back up with the /disasterrecovery option.

Now I need to mount that old DB again to take a look at a mailbox as it was
two weeks ago. I don't have a brick labeb backup.

I created a temp store and tryed to mount the DB but it doesn't work.

Am I approching this the wrong way? I must be.

Basically all I want is to mount the old DB reconect a couple of mailboxes
to temp user so that I can export their contents.

Any help appreciated

Thank you in advance.
