RE: Restore public folders and companyweb

Hello Bengt,

Thank you for posting in the SBS newsgroup.

I am sorry for the delayed response due to weekend. Please understand that
the newsgroups are staffed weekdays by Microsoft Support professionals to
answer your systems and applications questions. Your understanding is
greatly appreciated!

According to your description, I understand that the Public Folder Store
database cannot be mounted due to integrity problems, after you overwritten
the pub.edb database from your backup of the old Server, and you also would
like to replace the sharepoint data with old backup. If I have
misunderstood your concern, please don't hesitate to let me know.

I. First of all, please try the following steps to restore your public
folders:

1. In Exchange System Manager, navigate to Servers\<Server Name>\First
Storage Group\Public Folder Store (Server Name). Right-click it and select
Properties. On the Database tab and select "This database can be
overwritten by a restore".

2. Stop Microsoft Exchange Information Store service.

3. Copy pub1.edb and pub1.stm from your backup to the MDBDATA folder.

4. Start Microsoft Exchange Information Store service.

5. In Exchange System Manager, right-click Public Folder Store (Server
Name) and select Mount Store.

6. Check if the problem still occurs.

II. If the issue persists, please try to perform the below steps:

Step 1
=====
Please verify if the public folder store is dirty-shutdown (formerly known
as inconsistent). To do so, please run Eseutil /mh against the database to
verify it.

Step 2
=====
If the public folder store is dirty-shutdown, please keep only pub1.edb and
pub1.stm in the MDBDATA folder and move all other files to another
location. Then, run Eseutil with /p switch again the two database files to
repair them.

Step 3
=====
After reparation, please try to mount the store again.

III. If the issue persists, what's the exact error message when you try to
mount the database. Please kindly paste the content or do a screen capture
and attach it in your reply.

IV. Please open the system Event Viewer on the SBS Server, and check
whether there are any error messages about this issue, then paste the full
context in your reply post.

V. To restore the companyweb database, please refer to the below KB
article:

I am appreciated your time and cooperation. If anything is unclear, please
feel free to let me know. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
