Hello all,

I know its not the ideal way to do it but...

Anyway I have a new Exchange server which is being built and is on a seperate network, I have had no problems getting the Priv.edb database to extract by using ExMerge, but could someone kindly walk me through how to use the Pub.edb please.

I know it can be done as I did it before, about 2 years ago, I remember getting the info from you guys, but can't remember where, and I can't find it again.

Original server is NT4 and new server is W2K Server.

I have copied the Pub.edb and Dir.edb from the original server and I know I can't just dump them over the top of the existing ones, it has something to do with deleting *.log files and running a utility.

Thank you for your help

Hello,

Thank you for the link unfortunately, this is for a server of the same name and I changed the name!!!

I have found a way around it though, I use ExMerge for the private information and because the old server is still running I can export the information from the public info store to a .pst file and then import it on the new server, probably not ideal but it works a treat.

Again thank you.
