I like whats written about 2010 DPM but I have never been able to get it to work. After manually installing the agent on several severs, the service will not start. I always get error 1168.
We actually have a license for it but its worthless since I can never get the agents to work.

Recovering deleted items from a users mailbox should be much, much, much easier than the example above. For events this common, a 100% gui interface should be implemented. I don't have time for the junk above or the memory space to remember the process. Recovering email should be as easy as recovering deleted items using Undelete.
I love DPM... it's a great tool. However, for this kind of recovery, it's an absolute monster. For SharePoint and SQL, DPM is incredibly good (and FAST). MS needs to improve Exchange recovery.

Thanks John for the useful steps to restore mailbox. I just want to add that there are some third party Exchange server recovery applications available online which help to repair and restore corrupted mailboxes like this: http://www.recover-computerdata.com/exchange-server-recovery.html
These utilities come with a rich GUI and allow the users to easily recover and restore single as well as multiple Exchange mailboxes at a time.

John,
Your instructions for this process contain unnecessary steps. You can restore directly from a Recovery Database (RDB) to the affected user's mailbox. You do not have to create a temporary user to recover the mail.
You can skip steps 2, 5 & 6.
Command to create a a new Mailbox Restore Request
New-MailboxRestoreRequest -SourceDatabase RDB1 -SourceStoreMailbox 'John Smith' -TargetMailbox jsmith -TargetRootFolder Recovery
Command to check on the restore request
Get-MailboxRestoreRequest | Get-MailboxRestoreRequestStatistics
This will allow the user to go through the recovered email with having having to copy a PST on the network and will save the email admin from doing necessary work.

Hi Mike - Thanks for the input. Of course the export to PST is not technically necessary if you restore directly from the RDB to the user's mailbox. However these steps were prepared for a large enterprise environment where a mailbox recovery scenario that was supported by all use cases was needed. These use cases frequently include forensic and ex-employee scenarios where recovery of old mailboxes to current mailboxes is not desired. So the extra steps provide a repeatable process that satisfies all stakeholders.
Thanks john for showing such interesting and knowledgeable steps to recover Exchange mailboxes. I m bit late to know as i used a GUI based app (http://www.edb-pst.net/exchange-mailbox-recovery.html) when Exchange server was crashed. I really needed a short escape to restore all mailboxes while Exchange was unavailable. Well, its never late for Good Ideas, Cheers!!
