Hi,
Does anybody know of another way to extract data (email messages and contacts) from an exchange 2003 database (priv.edb and pub.edb) without having to mount it? We set up Exchange 2003 in a test environment and then rebuild the server but forgot to export all the test mailboxes into .pst file. Now all we have are the priv.edb, priv.stm, pub.edb and pub.stm files. We rebuilt the server with the same name and domain but for some reason it doesn’t want to mount the database. I’m getting error C1041727 when trying to mount the database. Also, I’m getting event id 1088:
Event ID: 1088
Source: MSExchangeIS
Type: Error
Category: General
Description: The information store could not be loaded because the distinguished name (DN) of message database
/O=old_org_name/OU=old_site_name/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN= does not match the DN of directory
/O=new_org_name/OU=new_site_name/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=.
The database may have been restored to a computer that is in a different organization or site than the original database.
This is not extremely important since it was only a test machine but we would like to get the data back if possible. More importantly, I would learn how to fix or work around this situation just in case I need to do one day. If someone can show me or point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciated it. Thanks again!
