Exchange 2010 database mailbox restore after restore server form disaster recovery

Hello ,
after my exchange server failed i am installed new server and recovered server
successfully, i have 4 database mailbox all this database dismount and users cannot
connect their mailbox , i have backup for all database(separate).
what should to do to restore database mailbox. so that users can connect their mailbox
thanks

Hi activenew
Thank you for your question.
After we recover the exchange successfully by using “Setup /m:RecoverServer” cmdlet, the exchange server database is in the dismount status, then we will restore the exchange database by your backup tool. After we restore database, the database
is mount, then our client can connect exchange server and send/receive email .
We can refer to the follow link:

We can also refer to recovering an exchange database：

If there are any questions, please let me know.
Best Regard,

Exchange 2010 - Clustering & DAG problems after restoring CLUSTER from domain

Hi there!
SITE 1
Primary EXCHANGE server (2010SP3 with latest CU) with all the roles installed
SITE 2
Secondary Exchange server (2010SP3 with latest CU) with only mailbox role for DAG purpouse.
SITE 1 and SITE 2 are connected with site-to-site-vpn.
Both servers are on 2008 r2 ENT.
About 3-4 months ago we have accidentely delete DAG node from domain. We have managed to restore it from domain with using AD RESTORE and checking that DAG is member of all the required Exchange groups in the domain.
Now we are having some big problems if site-to-site-vpn dropps, our primary Exchange server in SITE1 is not working.
If VPN dropps between the sites, OWA gets unavailable as it Exchange servers would think that Exchange in SITE2 is primary server.
Please advice us how to track and repair the root of the problem.
With best regards,
bostjanc

Running command:
Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus –Server "exchangesrvname" | FL MailboxServer,*database*,Status,ContentIndexState
Gives as an output that all the databases are healthy:
Example of 1 database report:
MailboxServer      : ExchangeSRVname
DatabaseName       : DatabaseName1
ActiveDatabaseCopy : exchange2010
Status             : Mounted
ContentIndexState : Healthy
Running command:
Test-ReplicationHealth –Server "exchange2010.halcom.local" | FL
Also gives output that everything is fine.
We still need to solve this issue so we will be unmarking the thread being ansered.

Replay only particular logs (before a certain date) to restored Exchange 2010 database?

Hello,
I'm doing Exchange 2010 database full backup using windows server backup (windows 2008 R2) every weekend. I have a Mac user which Mac Outlook 2011 which somehow managed to corrupt his mailbox. I.e. on Wednesday many messages and contacts disappeared (all
contact gone) after his Outlook told his something about "corrupted database". I'm not sure what Mac Outlook did, but fact is that his mailbox has zero contacts and many inbox message are gone. Hard deleted items don't contain lost messages.
So I have DB backup from weekend before and weekend after. No circular logging, so all logs in place.
Is there a way how I can restore his mailbox back to the point in time? I want to restore his mailbox how it was on Wednesday morning. For it looks obvious that since I have log files from Monday to Friday, it should be possible to replay logs until certain
time.
I tried to did thick trick by removing Friday and Thursday logs and doing soft recovery, but got Operation terminated with error -543 (JET_errRequiredLogFilesMissing, The required log files for recovery is missing.) They indeed missing:
dbtime: 2221857861 (0x846edc45)
State: Dirty Shutdown
Log Required: 2895446-2895464 (0x2c2e56-0x2c2e68)
Log Committed: 0-2895465 (0x0-0x2c2e69)
Log Recovering: 2838005 (0x2b4df5)
Log required are logs from they day of backup, so they are really missed in that case, but that's what I want - restore DB with less/older logs to get back in time, when mailbox was not corrupted.
Is that possible?
Thanks

ok so the problem is you have the dreaded -1018 error and this is a very serious issue. -1018 is not a good deal at all, in short your DB has corruption within it
and it is usually caused by a hardware or firmware related issue. Most of the time these occur somewhere within the storage subsystem, i.e. firmware upgrade or lack of firmware upgrade, Controller issue, cabling, disk, disk arrays, etc, however they can
also be caused by memory upgrades or failures, Motherboard issues etc.   The -1018 tells you the DB is already damaged and if you see these its very bad and needs to be addressed ASAP else the DB's are sure to fail and the more stress you put on
them the faster the chance of failure, i.e. database backups, defrag;s and repairs etc are not recommended at all until you solve the hardware issue. So here is what I would recommend:
A: Lets try to ensure the box is stable and whatever caused the DB to get the -1018's is solved before we do anything else.
General Review: Whats changed recently? i.e. any hardware, memory, motherboard, any firmware updates on anything at all?
Event Log Review: Look at your Application Log, how long have these 1018's been occurring?   Look at your System event log for errors and pay close attention to any errors regarding disk, memory or MB and report back
Protect: I would dismount the database & copy it and any others off to a secure, safe drive that is NOT connected to this system
Action: Depending on what you find in your review there are really two options
     i: If you had a recent change that is easily identifiable you may be able to correct it and then we can look at finding a clean copy of the EDB and rolling up the logs OR we opt to repair the DB you have
     ii: if you cannot find the issue in short order then I would suggest that you build a new Exchange Server on new hardware and migrate your mailboxes immediately.
B: Once you have addressed the -1018 issue then;
1. We need to find a database from your backups that does NOT have the -1018 result code when attempting a rollup.
2. Once you have a non -1018 result you can then grab a fresh copy of the EDB along with all logs from that point forward and make a consistent DB via rollup up to the 18th as desired.
3. If you cannot find a good copy of the EDB then you are stuck with the latest data you have and should either move all mailboxes to a new EDB on that server but ONLY IF the source of the -1018 is found and resolved, else you will just be making thing s
worse. IF you CANNOT resolve the issue that causes the -1018 then build a brand new server and move all users over to it ASAP, else you are headed for a major failure on all users.

Exchange 2010 Database Corrupted Every Several Months,I/O Disk,Event 203

Hi
I am Running Exchange 2010 on Vm Machine,
Machine Profile:
16Gb Ram,4 Cpu,200 Gb Database,200 users.
Every Several months I Need To Migrate The Mailboxes To New Database,
The Old Database(After the mailboxes migration Process) always Get Error event 203,
Its Cyclic error That Occured every Serval Months To New Database.
I Am Backup Successfully The Database With Full Vss Every Day until the database get corrupted!,
The Biggest mailbox Is 10 Gb.
I Noticed That The Error Occured When The Store process Was On 17,000,000 kb/sec Persistent.
My Exchange Storage Is On Virtual San Hp Vsa.
The Strange Thing is I Have physical exchange 2010 servers in different company who serves 200 users as well,
has 200 gb database ,Less Ram Memory from my vm,
but The Big Difference is i didnt have any issues with the physical server like i have with the vm.
how can i be sure if my storage(virtual san,hp vsa) have poor issue when the exchange need to
work on high I/O ?
I Got The Event 203 When The Store Process Was On 17,000,000? is it normal?
Is My Storage Cause To My New Database Get Corrupted Because It Has Poor Performance?
thx
kobi

Thank You
How Can I Monitor/Test My Virtual San Environment To Ensure Its Function When Hosting Exchange 2010?
Can Jetstress 2010 Can Supply Me Answers To My Cyclic Problem?
Is there A Tool Or Configuration To Achieve Store Process On 17,000,000 b/Sec?

Script for unmounting/deframenting exchange 2010 database

hi all,
i need a script to unmount exchange 2010 database, defrag it and mount it again.
thanks for any comment you may add...

Tried the above commands... works like a charm, but with the following modifications:
1. Delete trash and recoverable items from all mailboxes, run repeatedly
The command using is
Search-Mailbox -Identity "mailbox.name" -SearchDumpsterOnly -DeleteContent
1A. Determining Free Space in Mailbox Database
The command using is
Get-MailboxDatabase -Status | ft name,Availablenewmailboxspace,Databasesize
2.Calculate the disk space to perform the defrag, the formula is
(Databasesize-Availablenewmailboxspace)*1.1
3.Dismount the mailbox database
In EMS, go to the folder contain the database file then use the command
Dismount-Database <DatabaseName>
3A.Copy mailbox database (edb and all related log files) to another location
In EMS, go to the folder contain the database file then use the command
4.Defrag the edb file (eseutil will recreate a temp edb and rename to the new edb after successful complete it will delete the old edb file. If anything goes wrong, it will revert back to the old edb as in the /d)
eseutil /d <file.edb>
5.Mount again
Mount-Database <DatabaseName>
You are advised to purge (step 1) all mailboxes before eseutil or move mailbox, otherwise it will just carry all the sh!t over to the new mailbox anyway. I gave up trying to tally the total mailbox space used, the whitespace avail and the edb file size already.
For example, not sure why there is such a disparity where by I have 30 2GB mailboxe est. at 60GB used, whitespace after mailbox move/eseutil at 95GB, the edb size is 106GB. This is where my older exchange 2003 edb files wins hands down. Better budget more
storage for edb files! I am considering whether it's even worth migrating all to exchange 2010 altogether! The edb files are so damn space hungry even with 3 day retention and 6 day delete with 24/7 maintenance ticked. Exchange 2010 edb beast simply cannot
be tamed.
Personally I find in EMC to online move mailbox faster and more reliable overnight. Furthermore, you can simply create a new database, sort all mailboxes by database, select all of them, follow the wizard to move them all at once, the system simply queues
them to move and complete. Overnight moving is the best, all will be done the next day.

Exchange 2010 - Moving mailbox database from exchange 2010 server to another exchange 2010 server

Hi,
I have a current existing exchange server running on 2008 R2. apparently the partition that holds the mailbox database is getting full and i need to move some user mailboxes to another environment ( exchange 2010 running on 2008 R2). i transferred some users
successfully to the new location, but am not able to transfer the rest. I am getting the errors:

YOUR ASSISTANCE WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED. THANX :)

0x80070005 is pretty standard access denied entries. I would start digging into ACLs on a handful
of mailboxes.
Is there another Admin that can give it a shot to test their permissions vs yours?

Restore Exchange 2010 Database into Restore Database in stages

I have a full backup and a number of incremental backed up using TSM.
I am trying to restore a database into a recovery DB so that I can mount an old version of a users mailbox.
To restore the full backup and all the subsequent incremental backups up to the point where the restore is required would take over 400GB, but we only have a 200GB drive to restore to.
It seems that it must be possible to:
Restore full backup + some incrementals
perform recovery to replay logs
Delete replayed logs
restore more logs
perform recovery to replay logs
Delete replayed logs
... repeat from step 4 until the database is at the right time
When I get to step 5 and try to replay the next set of logs, I seem to get various errors.
Is what I am trying to do actually possible? Apply logs in stages to a database file?
Kind Regards,
Shane

Hello Shane,
I don't think it is possible to replay the transaction logs manually once it is in Clean Shutdown state from a previous incremental backup recovery and replay. Log Required field of the database will be set to 0-0 once replay/recovery is completed and database
is set to clean shutdown state (you can verify with eseutil /mh dbpath) and then you won't be able replay the transaction logs anymore...
Probably you could just restore logs to a temp location on network attached drive and perform full restore (full + all incremental)...
For some reason you have to invoke the hard recovery manually you can use eseutil /cc "temp path of logs"

Exchange 2010 cross mailbox database search

Hi there,
I have a customer who has an interesting scenario. They have an exchange 2010 server with 3 mailbox databases. They want to do a search for a text string across all databases which is reasonably straight forward but they also want to take that search back
in time and do a search across the databases as they were at points in time in the past (1 year and 2 years ago). They have backups to recover and we are thinking that we can recover the databases at the points in time required but we're unsure whether the
search works across recovered databases.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this or advise on how this might be achieved?
Thanks,
Rich

Assuming you're aware of the concepts surrounding Microsoft's recommendation to use Exchange Native Data Protection, and you're needing to search beyond what is currently protected. Otherwise, just use that.

So here's the issue with your request: Exchange Search uses the indexes, which would either need to be restored or re-built after a restore. so you'd need to do your search, and repeatedly mount restored databases, probably in an isolated environment
since i'd assume you'll want to reattach restored mailboxes to existing users, ensuring the index is in good shape and re-do your search. Sounds like a huge PITA. Does your backup software offer the functionality you're looking for? Microsoft's
DPM software only offers per-mailbox restores, but perhaps you've got something more sophisticated.
This is all complicated, which is why Microsoft recommends to use NDP.

What is the Exchange 2010 maximum mailbox database size that is support by MS in a single DAG environment?

My Exchange setup:
Exchange 2010 Enterprise
2 mailbox servers
2 CAS, 2 HT
12 mailbox databases. The total of all databases combine is about 2TB. The largest mailbox databases are 530GB, 250GB, and 196GB. Are this over the supported recommendations?
bl

2TB, look at the second article but best practice 200GB or less

Database is pending after restore and recovery

Database is in the pending status after restore and recovery.
The database can not startup today and it shows a error message: the log file 2 cannot be archived. Then I issue the following command:
SQL> select group#, sequence#, bytes, members, status from v$log;
    GROUP# SEQUENCE#      BYTES    MEMBERS STATUS

Database opened.But when I try to login using EM console, it shows the database is not open. Then I restore and recover the database using EM Console. But the database then get into the pending status.
What to do next?

Stop the EM console and then restart it. I expect all is OK then.

Exchange 2010 database help after clean install of exchange 2010

Long story short. Had exchange 2010 issues. My exchange store would not open and I could not mount database. Copied v14 folder over to another folder. Removed exchange from AD, recreated my windows 2008 r2 virtual machine, Installed completely new exchange.
It came up with new mailbox offline, which i left that way. I copied my flat files into the newly created v14 folder. When I open exchange, I see an unmounted copy of my old database. However, I am unable to do anything with it. Esutil said it was a clean
shutdown. I am looking for the steps I need to take to get my old database back online as it has everyone's info. So exchange see's a copy of my old database, but nothing else. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response Willard,
Your correct, I have placed myself in a Jam. the .edb file is in a clean state. I copied the whole directory over to a mapped drive. I am currently working the problem 2 ways. I have created a recoveryDB, but when I try to perform a New-MailboxRestore request
it fails. When i do a get statistics I can see all email in the recoveryDB, but only a system file mailbox in the new database i created, none of my users. I have also tried the database portability. I can check and confirm the old database, but at the last
step I am supposed to Get Mailbox -Database "old database", it fails to find the old database. So I am unable to run Get-Mailbox -Database "old Database" | Set-Mailbox -Database "New Database". I have set the new database to be
overwritten. The problem arises when i try to get-mailbox -Database (old database)= it says it cannot find database. Since I performed a clean install the old database is not in Active directory. When I open the path to the new database it is pointing
at the .edb in the folder I created using the steps at www.exchangerecover.com/blog/2010/move-a-mailbox-database-using-database-portability.html
Now that I totally screwed it up, I can start from the beginning if necessary. I am just hoping I do not lose the data. I would appreciate a push in the right direction. I am currently trying to touch base with an exchange admin at the local university.
We have played phone tag so far. Microsoft support is my next option.

Exchange 2010 database won't mount

We had a power outage and I believe that the database has been corrupted. When I try to mount a restored copy of the database the day before the crash it gives me the following error.
Microsoft Exchange Error
Failed to mount database 'Mailbox Database 0517197706'.
Mailbox Database 0517197706
Failed
Error:
Couldn't mount the database that you specified. Specified database: Mailbox Database 0517197706; Error code: An Active Manager operation failed. Error: The database action failed. Error: Operation failed with message: MapiExceptionCallFailed: Unable to mount
database. (hr=0x80004005, ec=-501)
. [Database: Mailbox Database 0517197706, Server:#########].
An Active Manager operation failed. Error: The database action failed. Error: Operation failed with message: MapiExceptionCallFailed: Unable to mount database. (hr=0x80004005, ec=-501)
. [Database: Mailbox Database 0517197706, Server: ###########]
An Active Manager operation failed. Error: Operation failed with message: MapiExceptionCallFailed: Unable to mount database. (hr=0x80004005, ec=-501)
. [Server: ###########]
MapiExceptionCallFailed: Unable to mount database. (hr=0x80004005, ec=-501)

So it appears that what happened may be that the copy back process was terminated earlier, hence the smaller file size etc. So what I would do is
1. Rename
Mailbox Database 0517197706.edb to "OLD_Mailbox Database 0517197706.edb"
2. if the TMP file is in same location as the main file I would then just rename
TEMPDFRG7840.EDB to
Mailbox Database 0517197706.edb. If the TMP file is in alternate location I would rename and then copy back into place where Exchange expects the file to live.
3. Then attempt a mount and report back
Search, Recover, & Extract Mailboxes, Folders, & Email Items from Offline Exchange Mailbox and Public Folder EDB's and Live Exchange Servers or Import/Migrate direct from Offline EDB to Any Production Exchange Server, even cross version i.e. 2003 -->
2007 --> 2010 --> 2013 with Lucid8's

Rename existing Exchange 2010 database in DAG

Hello,
I want to rename one existing database on our exchange 2010 server. This database is in DAG and hosting around 1000 users. So not possible to create a new mailbox database and move.
How can I rename the database?
After renaming it, what will happen to the Copy database on another server as it is in DAG.
Thanks,
Mihir

Appreciate your response, Andy.
To clear my doubt,
If I am ok to reseed the passive copy, then I can follow below steps, Correct?
--> Remove Passive copy
--> Remove Database files and Log files on this passive server manually
And
"1. Then will a New database with this new name be created?"
--> On Move database, I will mention same location, but just
rename .edb file. So a exact copy of new database with this new name will be created. Correct?
--> And then I can delete the old named .edb, Correct?
Thanks.
