Reimport or extract edb-File

Hello everyone,
I have had a total server crash. Everything is not correctly working and the full windows system is damaged (empty popups, strange errors, no desktop icons etc.). BUT fortunately my Exchange-Folder seems to be untouched and completely well. So at first I
started to copy my Mailbox-Folder (which includes the edb file). Is there anything else I should recover?
Now I want to reinstall everything which will result in a completely new domain with a new Exchange setup. The domain name will remain the same, but the Domain Controller and Exchange Server will be completely new. Is there a way, to reimport my edb-file
into the new Exchange server after the Installation or will it crash because the new server cannot handle the old mailbox database? In fact, there is only one Mailbox I want to reimport (my own one) as I am a Student^^
So I just want to reinstall everything and import my mails again. What should I do or backup else before I format the HDD?
Thank you!!
Regards
Christian

Exchange version/SP/Rollup updates?
Domain Really doesn't matter here to mount a database!
If you have EDB File you can mount it only *IF* the below is true:
Exchange Organization & Administrative Group Name should be same. In case if your Exchange Organization/Administrative Group doesn't match between your Old Environment
and New, The database will fail to mount with Error 1088.
If your old Exchange Server is not a Domain Controller then you may go with Disaster Recovery Process.
A Guide to Exchange Disaster Recovery Planning
As you are building the environment from scratch you may follow the below:
From the command prompt run the command:
Find /i "/o=" "Your datbase path\Your Database Name.edb"
From the output above what we get is: /o=DATAMATICS LTD which is my Exchange organization
Name and /OU=First Administrative Group which is my administrative group.
So, you would need to install Exchange with OrganizationName Specified as Datamatics. If your Exchange version is 2007/2010 then you don't need to really worry about Administrative Group. In case if your Exchange version is Exchange 2003 and if you know
for sure that the name of the Administrative group is "First Administrative Group" (by default this will be the name) the you can mount the old edb file on the new server and you can reconnect your disconnected mailbox after you create an AD Account.
Also , Make sure to copy the logs as you will need them in case if your database is in dirty shutdown state.
If your Outlook is in Cached Mode, then you don't need to worry about the Data in the EDB as you will have data cached on your Client. You can export the PST & Import PST after you provision a new mailbox for yourself. but, you may have an issue when
users reply to your old emails

Is there any Exchange API support exporting .edb file to .pst file.

Hi
I'm working on a feasibility study of Exchange single mailbox/item recovery for our product. I find that there are some third part software can extract items from .edb file , and export specific items to .pst file. But there is not public
Exchange SDK about this functionality. So I want to know is there any special API be provided for third part partener about this extract .edb file? if not, are there any another way to implement this functionality?

To recover your EDB file you must need a 3rd party Exchange Server Recovery Software. For your convenience you can read this tutorial about EDB Recovery. visit

How to extract the mailboxes from *.edb files

I am using windows 2007, SP2, 64 bit operating system and exchange server 2007 on top it.
I have migrated my users to a third party solution.
Unfortunately, during this migration, there are 2 uses who seems to have lost few e-mails (nearly 2 weeks e-mails ..not sure how that happened but the backup PST does not have it hence it was not uploaded to the third party provider ...)
How do i get the pst from .edb file so I can put it again to synch with the new platform ??

Extracting .xls file from an FTP site

Hi there,
I'm trying to run a DI solution that is extracting a file from a FTP site. DI can see the file but it gives me an error saying that:
FTP could not transfer file <FTP site/myfile.xls> from host <IP Address>: <>. Please ensure that the FTP relative path for the SAP R/3 working directory is set correctly such that the data file is accessible to the FTP
Can someone please help with this.
Thank you.

Hi,
thats SP1 for DS XI 3.2
I think there is no delta from XI 3.2 to XO 3.2 SP1 what means you have to do a fresh install and upgrade repo.
But you better doublecheck before but i think there is no delta.

Error while extracting XML file from the application server

Hi ,
I am writing a XML file into the application server, after which when i try to extract the file to the local server using the report - RFASLDPC ,
the file is extracted, but with a '#' symbol at the first position.
Because of which the XML File does not open. But after i open the file in notepad and manually delete the '#' symbol and then reopen the file, it works fine.
Is there any way to remove the '#' symbol while extracting itself ??
Thanks in advance,
Vikas.

Select the option "No Character Set Conversion" in stead of Code page 1100.
However, I still have troubles -> the downloaded xml file misses a space on several places. This causes errors too.

I need some quick response on it.

Nothing to do with the resource path....thats fine. Use the code below.....most likely this will fix it.......
Added a check for directories that start with a ".". The File utility probably thinks its a file, also added a try....check it does make the "." directories.........dont forget the dukes.
    ZipInputStream zis = null;
    FileOutputStream fos = null;
    try
      zis = new ZipInputStream( new FileInputStream( "C:\\your_path\\your_zipfile_or_jar.zip" ) );
      ZipEntry ze = null;
      File ff = null;
      while ( ( ze = zis.getNextEntry() ) != null )
        System.out.println( "name=" + ze.getName() );
        ff = new File( "C:\\your_path\\" + ze.getName() );
        if ( ze.isDirectory() || ze.getName().startsWith("."))
          try{ System.out.println( "making " + ze.getName() + " dir (" + ff.mkdirs() + ")" ); }catch(Exception e2){}
        else
          fos = new FileOutputStream( ff );
          byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
          int len;
          while ( ( len = zis.read( buf ) ) > 0 )

    catch( Exception ex )
      ex.printStackTrace();
    finally

When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Error occurs during reseed - the EDB file is being used by another process

Greetings,
We were notified today that one of our databases in an Exchange 2013 cluster is currently in a failed state. We have three servers - two at the primary site and one in the DR site. The database has a mounted and healthy copy on its preferred server, but
the secondary copy is now failed with a pretty high CopyQueueLength.
I've done plenty of reseeds with Exchange 2010, and I understand that Exchange 2013 will do an automatic reseed in the event of a failure. However the auto-reseed is generating the following message:
Automatic Reseed Manager failed to execute repair workflow 'FailedSuspendedCopyAutoReseed' for database 'DB05'. Error: The Automatic Reseed Manager encountered an error: The automatic repair operation for database copy 'DB05\mb02' will not be run because
one of the prerequisite checks failed. Error: There are no Exchange volumes mounted under root path 'C:\ExchangeVolumes', which are required for the Automatic Reseed component.
WorkflowLaunchReason: The seeding operation failed. Error: An error occurred while performing the seed operation. Error: The process cannot access the file 'M:\DB05\DB05.EDB' because it is being used by another process.
During the course of my investigation, I tried to rename the .edb file to .old and was told that the file is in use by Microsoft.exchange.store.worker.exe. There doesn't seem to be a way to kill this process, as every time I've tried I've been told that
access is denied. I'm not even sure it's wise to kill the process anyway (I'm only trying to kill the one with the PID that matches the database).
Attempting to manually reseed the database generates a similar error to the one above. I've failed all the databases over to the other server and restarted the Information Store service as well as the Host Controller service, but so far I can't seem to get
this file unlocked. One article I found did mention making sure that Exchange Servers is listed and given Read access to the folder. I did manually set this but I still see no change. I also verified that Symantec Endpoint Protection is set to exclude .edb
files, and the automatic Exchange exclusions are preventing it from scanning the Exchange install locations.
I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions that I might have missed so far. This is confusing the daylights out of me and I'd like to be able to get this reseeded. I suspect that even a full server restart won't clear this up, so any help would be great.
We're just starting to transition users over from Exchange 2007 to 2013, and I'd prefer to have a method of avoiding this in the future before we're in full production.

Thanks for your response, Ed! I really appreciate you taking the time to do so.
The ultimate fix for this was a reboot of the server and I was finally able to kick off a reseed. For the sake of thoroughness, here's the last two things we tried before rebooting.
I did try stopping the Symantec Endpoint Protection service on the server, but the job still failed in the same way. I'd also been given the recommendation to try stopping the Information Store service and try a reseed like that. Still no love. I've been
using ProcessExplorer, too, to try and isolate the lock, but didn't have much luck there, beyond what I already knew regarding the store.worker.exe locking the file.
I don't much care for the notion that I needed to reboot the server to remove that lock, I was really hoping for something less intrusive. But at least we've got it working and can move on with our day!
Again, thanks for your response, Ed!

You could try Paragon HFS+ for Windows. That would allow you to read and write files from a Mac-formatted drive.

How can I extract a file name / path from a local path variable in TestStand?

I have local TestStand string variable, call it 'locals.path', that contains a path to a file including the file name (c:\inputs\input.txt). I need to be able to split up the path (c:\input) and the file name (input.txt) and save them into 2 local variables. What is the best way to do this?
After reading through some of the other forums, it looks like there are some built-in functions that can accomplish this, but I am unable to find how to use them anywhere on the NI web site. One forum said to use the File I/O>Strip Path.file function. How is this called? Is this function in a DLL?
I know that there are a number of DLLs that are installed with TestStand into the c:\windows\system32 directory. One forum made note of CVI_OpenFile / CVI_ReadFIle functions in the cvirt.dll that I used to solve a problem that I had in the past. The problem is that I had no idea that that these functions even existed and would have never known unless a similar question had been posted previously. Is there some place that these DLL function interfaces are defined or documented? Is there a function that can extract the file name out of a string for me?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi,
There sound like functions in say LabVIEW or CVI.
I have attached a small example which may help. (I have not allowed for any error trapping, if say you dont find the file and cancel)

Photoshop CS3 extended error on Installation("A Problem occurred while extracting some files....

Hi guys. I dont know if youve experienced this but I get this error whenever I try to install Photoshop CS3 Extended. The error popup message goes like this:
"A Problem occurred while extracting some files. Check available space on your computer and the write privileges on the destination folder."
Any idea? :(
thanks in advanced.
Cheers!

Welcome to the forum.
where is the file to download it directly?
With CS3, there might not be one any longer. CS4 has been out for some time. You might need to contact Adobe Customer Service for resolution. I know that they offer replacement media for a small fee, but do not know how far back they go with the versions.
For me, I always purchase the full discs, and from Adobe, so I have little experience with downloaders and with the downloadable files. Maybe someone else can offer you more direct assistance.
Good luck,

Question?
I have accidentally deleted a large number of develped images in Lightroom before I did a backup. I reimported the original raw files back into Lightroom hoping the develop settings would be re-established but no luck. Notice system mau have done an auto-backup as have an lrcat-journal file. Can I use this to restore my develop settings. I also have jpgs generated from all the deleted images.

Hello,
if you have a backup of your catalog you can do the following:
1. Backup your catalog first
2. Restore your backup catalog to some location
3. Open your current catalog and select "files->import from another catalog".
4. Select your backup catalog and your lost images. LR ask you if you want to overwrite the current settings or save them as a virtual copy.
As an alternativ you can open your backup catalog, select the "lost" images and save the development settings as xmp sidecar fiels (using ctrl-s). Then open your current catalog, seletct the images and use "Metadata->Read Metadata from files".

Batch file extracting all files from nested archives

I have managed to leverage a powerful
forfiles command line utility with the mighty
7z compression program.
Below is a simple batch file extracting all files from nested archives hidden at any depth inside other archives and/or folders. After the extraction each archive file turns into a folder having the archive file name. If, for example, there was an "outer.rar"
archive file containing nothing but an "inner.zip" archive with only "afile.txt" inside, "outer.rar" becomes "...\outer.rar\inner.zip\afile.txt" file system path.
@echo off
rem extract_nested_archives.bat
move %1 "%TMP%"\%2
md %2
7z x -o%1 -y %TMP%\%2
del "%TMP%"\%2
for %%a in (zip rar jar z bz2 gz gzip tgz tar lha iso wim cab rpm deb) do forfiles /P %1 /S /M *.%%a /C "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE extract_nested_archives.bat @path @file"
ARCHIVES ARE DELETED DURING THE EXTRACTION! Make a copy before running the script!
"7z.exe" and "extract_nested_archives.bat" should be in folders available via the %PATH% environment variable.
The first parameter of extract_nested_archives.bat is the full path name of the archive or folder that should be fully expanded; the second parameter is just the archive or folder name without the path. So you should run "c:\temp\extract_nested_archives.bat
c:\temp\outer.rar outer.rar" from the command line to completely expand "outer.rar". "c:\temp" must be the current folder.
Best regards, 0x000000AF

Incredibly useful! Thank you so much. I did make a couple of small changes to make the script a little easier to use from the end-user perspective.
First - I don't like making the user input the redundant second parameter, so I added this snippet which extracts it from the first parameter. The first line of the snippet enables delayed expansion so that special characters in our file name don't
break anything. The second line pulls the parameter into a variable, and the 3rd line uses delayed expansion on that new variable. Before implementing delayed expansion I had problems with file paths which included parentheses.
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set SOURCE=%1
For %%Z in (!source!) do (
set FILENAME=%%~nxZ
set FILENAME=%FILENAME:"=%
Anyway once that was done, I just used %FILENAME% everywhere in the script instead of
%2 (making sure to correct quotes as needed)
This way, to run my script all you need to run is:
C:\temp\extract_nested_archives.bat C:\temp\Archive.zip
Second - I didn't want to modify the Windows environment variable. So I replaced
7z with "%PROGRAMFILES%\7-zip\7z.exe"
I also replaced extract_nested_archives.bat with "%~f0" (which represents the full path+filename of the current script).
Here is my full script now. Tested on Windows 8 with the 64-bit version of 7-zip installed:
@echo off
Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set source=%1
For %%Z in (!source!) do (
set FILENAME=%%~nxZ
set FILENAME=%FILENAME:"=%
move /Y %1 "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
md "%FILENAME%"
"%PROGRAMFILES%\7-zip\7z.exe" x -o%1 -y "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
DEL "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
for %%a in (zip rar jar z bz2 gz gzip tgz tar lha iso wim cab rpm deb) do (
forfiles /P %1 /S /M *.%%a /C "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE "%~f0" @path @file"
