RE: Determining Organization name from Exchange backup?

I found the Org name in the specified file, and I'm installing now. My Org
name actually wasn't listed correctly in the location you specified (it was
listed as a registry hex ID). However, it's listed elsewhere in the log.
Anyone with this issue should also try searching the installation log for
"org =", which is how I found mine.

Thanks again!
