Hi Dave,
Thanks for posting in our newsgroup.
First, if you want to recovery the information store from the older backup
successfully, the following information needs to be preserved the same as
the old Exchange server. Please have a check.
- Organization Name
- Administrative Group Name
- Storage Group Name
- Store Name
To restore Exchange mailbox, we can use the Recovery Storage Group. Since
you have only 5 users, a easier way is to restore directly:
Step 1: Export each user's e-mail to pst file.
Step 2 : Dismount the Mailbox Store.
1. Right-click Mailbox Store, and then click Dismount Store.
2. Click Yes when you are prompted to continue.
3. Right-click Mailbox Store, and then click Properties.
4. Click the Database tab, and then click to select the This database can
be overwritten by a restore check box.
5. Click OK.
Step 3: Copy C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\MDBDATA\to another location for a
backup.
Step 4 : Restore Mailbox Store from backup.
Step 5. Mount the mailbox store.
Step 6: Import pst file to Exchange. Please ensure you select option
Replace duplicates with items imported.

Also, you can first restore from backup and then mount the database in
Recovery Storage Group. After this, please use Exmerge tool to export data.

<Our original server died and required a rebuild with a different server.
So
<I have created a server from the ground up, created a domain with the same
<name, and created users with the same name, and restored the shared
folders
<from the backup.
<
<There are only approximately 5 users and I was able to restore some of the
<users using their local copy of the pst and reloading it into exchange. I
<just thought that this would be an easier way to recover. But one user,
<which has critical email, did not have a copy of the Outlook data stored
on
<their desktop. So I'm not able to copy this.
<
<I do have good backups, but apparently sbs 2003 backups backup the
exchange
<database and I cannot seem to recovery single exchange mailboxes. It
would
<be fine if I recover the entire database as well. Is there an approach
for
<either of these?
