Re: Exchange in Recovery Mode

therein lies the problem.

I was going to ask how you have created this 'backup box' and how you are
maintaining sync with the current AD. Matter of fact, I better ask just
that.

_IF_ you installed SBS to your production box then installed SBS into the
backup box using the same AD name but a 'normal' installation you do not
have a copy of your AD, you have two AD's with the same name but being
completely different entities. Tell us a little about your process.

Thanks. I'll have to do that this evening when I come back off-site.

Last time I tried to email you directly it failed with the message in my
earlier response. Do you want to email me directly so you can reply:

david@[nospam]solsletta.co.uk

Unfortunately all the mailbox GUIDs will be newer than those in the backup
as they were created on this backup box well after the production server
was
loaded.

Hi David,

Thanks for your reply.

Please don't delete and then recreate the accounts. Doing so will create
new msExchangeMailboxGuid. If we continue to use exmerge, the tool will
look for older msExchangeMailboxGuid, but that doesn't exist so the
export
will fail.

Please help me collect the following information and I need to do deep
research:

1. Screen shot of the Mailboxes in ESM and error message when you run
Exmerge.

2. Which of the following accounts have mailboxes?

DEBRA, GILES.CHORLEY, IAN, IANW and PANDA.SECURITY

3. Exmerge.log

4. application event log:

1) Click Start -> Run, type EVENTVWR.MSC and click OK.
2) Right click the Application Event, select Save Log File as, save it to
.evt file.
3) Email me the file

5. backupxx.log files in the folder "C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows
NT\NTBackup\data"

Please send the information to v-robeli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with subject:
41158569-Exchange in Recovery Mode.

I am looking forward to hear from you.

Best regards,
