Restore exchange database mailbox

Hello ,
i have backup database took from old exchange server , i am using windows server backup.
i am installed new active directory(new name) and new exchange(new name) server both server fresh
i want to restore database mailbox to the new exchange server
thanks in advance

are you sure the path you entered \\dc\e\ can be reached from the server your are running the restore and with the permissions from the logged account?
try to open that backup locally from the original server.
Also from your original exchange server, check that the backup actually worked, otherwise you are just waisting your time:
On the server on which Windows Server Backup was run, the last backup status will be displayed, which should say Successful. You can also verify that the backup completed successfully by viewing the Windows Server Backup logs:
Open Event Viewer and verify that a backup completion event was logged in the Application event log.
Run the following command in the Exchange Management Shell to verify that each database on the selected volume(s) was backed up successfully:
Copy
Get-MailboxDatabase -Server <ServerName> -Status | fl Name,*FullBackup
The SnapshotLastFullBackup and LastFullBackup properties of the database indicate when the last successful backup was taken, and if it was a VSS full backup.

Restore exchange 2010 mailbox from database and restore the mailbox to pst file

Hello,
I'm running exchange 2010Sp2 rollup5 ver2, the mailbox database in question is in a DAG. The databases are being backed up by commvault.
So, I received a request to restore a couple mailboxes from 10 days ago and export the mailbox to PST file for archiving.
How would you go about the restore. I'm thinking the database needs to be offline, so I don't mistakenly overwrite my production databases.
Where should backup guy restore the database/log file (completely separate server from my mailbox servers?)
Once database/logs are restored, what is the procedure to make the mailboxes visible
Once the mailboxes are visible, what is best way to restore one to a PST file?
thanks in advance for all your help.

Hi
For DB Restores with commvault you have to reed the product documantation.
The Database must not be offline.
I would recommend to try the following steps:
1. Create Recovery DB on Exchange

2. Restore to this Recvovery DB from Commvault
(Commvault Administration Guide)

Can't Restore Exchange 2010 Mailbox DB from HP Data Protector backup

I'm trying to implement Exchange 2010, but I won't feel comfortable moving many users to it until I've successfully restored a mail database from tape backup. So far, this hasn't worked out so well. I'm using HP Data Protector for my backup solution.
Here's what I've done:
1. In DP's "Restore" GUI, navigated down to the MS Volume Shadow Copy Writers entry, then selected both "Files" and "Logs" from the DB's entry under Microsoft Information Store. I'm not restoring any of the other Writers. So that I don't have to take down Exchange, I'm restoring them to a temporary restore location.
2. After the restore completes, I go to the temporary restore location on the server and run eseutil /mh on the database, which returns a "Dirty Shutdown" db status.
3. Since I have the log files, I attempt to repair using eseutil /r E01 in the log files' path. This generates "Operation terminated with error -1216 (JET_errAttachedDatabaseMismatch, An outstanding database attachment has been detected at the start or end of recovery, but database is missing or does not match attachment info) after 10.608 seconds."
Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong with this recovery? If my steps are incorrect I'd love to know, as HP's documentation for restoring Exchange 2010 is very young and not terribly useful. My ultimate goal is to be able to restore a database from DP's tapes and bring it back online on the Exchange 2010 server.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Hi Ben,
We backup our primary database (Ex Writer) and always with full backup (DB+LOGS). When we restore we restore to alternate location, then manualy copy db file and everything from restored log directory to one folder (for example: d:\restore_DB1). At this
stage DB is in dirty shutdown state. Then we run (in folder where we copied db file and log files)
Eseutil.exe /R E00 /D
it takes a couple of seconds (160GB file) and the db is in clean shutdown state. Then we do:
New-MailboxDatabase -Name “Restored DB” -Server MBOX1 -EDBFilePath “D:\Restore_DB1\DB1.edb”
-Logfolderpath “D:\Restore_DB1” -Recovery
and
Mount-Database “Restored DB”
now we can restore single mailbox or even single item from mailbox with:
1: whole mailbox with overite the destination
Restore-Mailbox –Identity “USERNAME” –RecoveryDatabase “Restored DB”
2. whole mailbox to alternate location (new folder in another mailbox)
Restore-Mailbox –Identity “EXISTING MAILBOX TO RESOTRE TO” –RecoveryDatabase “Restored DB” –RecoveryMailbox “MAILBOX DO BE RESTORED
FROM BACKUP” –TargetFolder “NEW FOLDER IN EXISTING MAILBOX”
3. the same as 2 but single item with MEETING in email subject
Restore-Mailbox –Identity “EXISTING MAILBOX TO RESOTRE TO” –RecoveryDatabase “Restored DB” –RecoveryMailbox “MAILBOX DO BE RESTORED
FROM BACKUP” -SubjectKeywords "MEETING" –TargetFolder “NEW FOLDER IN EXISTING MAILBOX”

New-DPMRecoveryOption CopyToFolder for an Exchange database backup

I'm trying to restore an Exchange database from DPM 2010 into the file system using powershell. I'm able to perform this action in the DPM GUI simply by selecting the "Copy to a Network Folder" option. When I try this in powershell I
fail when creating the recovery option object. Here's what I'm trying:
$Pg = Get-DPMProtectionGroup –DPMServerName "DPM"
$Ds = Get-DPMDatasource -ProtectionGroup $Pg[0]
$RecoveryObject = Get-DPMRecoverypoint -Datasource $Ds[0] | Sort -Property RepresentedPointInTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1
$RecoveryOption = New-DPMRecoveryOption -TargetServer "DPM" -RecoveryLocation CopyToFolder -RecoveryType Recover -TargetLocation "f:\test"
Restore-DPMRecoverableItem -RecoverableItem $RecoveryObject -RecoveryOption $RecoveryOption
I get the following error on the New-DPMRecoveryOption command:
New-DPMRecoveryOption : Parameter set cannot be resolved using the specified named parameters.
I've tried a few dozen permutations of the available options, but I continue to get the same error message. I'm not seeing much documentation to explain all these options. Any guidance is appreciated.

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:
http://exchangeserverpro.com/exchange-2010-mailbox-database-backup-restore-windows-server-backup/
We can also refer to recovering an exchange database：

We have daily backups of the exchange DB/SG.
Please advise if we can restore/recover his mailbox/inbox from this DB/SG backup. Also if there are any other ways to restore/recover his emails.
Also, we cannot unmount the current DB, what tasks must i perform to mount this DB and restore/recover the mailbox or can I do this without mounting the DB. I dont want to disturb the existing DB/SG.

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"

Restore Exchange DB after Recreation of mailboxes to New Exchange(low priority)

Hello to Everyone
Recently one client of mine had a problem with an exchange migration that he tried (2010 to 2013) and he needed to restore his old EDB from windows backup to restore 10 Mailboxes that he had already migrated. We run the whole procedure with eseutil,
ISINTEG etc. The problem was that the client had already deleted the mailboxes and the AD Users and recreated them on a new database. When I tried to export or move the mailboxes the Power Shell reported unknown error and as I understood tried
to Read from active directory GUID and couldn't find the same and Stopping.
We solved the problem with the OST to PST files relied on the computers but I would like to hear from your experience if we had other Alternatives?
I could think only to restore Exchange and the domain controller on a VLAN so they have the same AD Objects and then Export all mailboxes to PSTs and then Re import them to the New Exchange Server.
Thank you
Alexios

Not sure the steps you took, however based upon your brief explanation it sounds as though you were able to restore and rollup the logs using eseutil, correct?
Did you then use the RDB process to mount this DB onto an Exchange 2010 Server?
Assuming the above is correct you should then be able to restore the mailbox from the source DB into a temporary user mailbox as outlined here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee332351%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
If the above doesn't work for you the other option would be to use a 3rd party tool like Lucid8's DigiScope
http://www.lucid8.com/product/digiscope.asp which would allow you to easily open the Offline 2010 EDB to see all the mailboxes and their contents. You can then easily export to PST or directly
recover/migrate data from the offline 2010 EDB into the 2013 Production Exchange Server
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

1. Yes Troy that is correct. I soft repair the db but it was continuing to be in dirty state. So I hard repaired it and came to a clean state.
2. I then Created a recoveryDB and tried to move mailboxes to temp mailboxes or export mailboxes etc.
3. There was no luck with the above, the power-shell reported that the mailbox GUID has changed and don't match with the AD signature, I am thinking this is probably because the client has already recreated all the mailboxes to a new db with the same
usernames-mails. In the end and after one day of tries I recommended a third party tool that I tried and I have seen that finds all the data of the mailboxes or if we have the OST of the users to convert them to PST. They used the second suggestion with OST
and I restored everything.
I posted this problem for brainstorming and if anyone else had the same problem or might have an idea why this happened. :)
Thanks

Restore Exchange 2007 database backup on Exchange 2010 server

Hi,
We have a requirement to restore mailbox from 2 years old when backup taken from Exchange 2007 server. Now we are on Exchange 2010 server where backup happens. So out of 2 years 1 year backup happen from Exchange 2007 & later happen from Exchange 2010
server using Netbackup.
We have 2 Exchange 2010 mailbox server & 1 Exchange 2007 mailbox server. Mailbox to be restore currently exists on Exchange 2010 mailbox server & functional.
can someone guide me with exact steps or best practice for restoring mailbox. confused by reading over multiple posts.

Hi ,
You cannot export data to a .pst file from a mailbox that is in a recovery storage group (RSG).
Mailboxes that are in a database that has been mounted in an RSG cannot be connected to Active Directory directory service accounts. These mailboxes have to be merged into existing mailboxes, or copied to a folder in an existing mailbox.

Error: The specified mailbox database [Mailbox Database Name] does not exist, when you try to export mailbox in Exchange 2007

[Symptom]
======================
In Exchange 2007, when you want to export mailbox to a .pst file, you should run the
Export-Mailbox cmdlet from a 32-bit computer that has the following installed:
The 32-bit version of the Exchange management tools
Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 SP2 or later versions
If not, you may encounter the following error message:
You check that you have these required installed, but you get the error below when you run Export-Mailbox in EMS.
“The specified mailbox database [Mailbox Database Name] does not exist.”
[Cause Analysis]
=======================================
This is because that the account you use to run Export-Mailbox cmdlet don’t have the Exchange Server Administrator role assigned.
You can check if this account has been delegated the Exchange Server Administrator role through the following path.
EMC -> Organization Configuration-> Check permissions in the result pane.
To delegate this Exchange Server Administrator role, right click on the
Organization Configuration node and choose Add Exchange Administrator,
you will see the Add Exchange Administrator window.

Hi,
Based on my test, if you make the user the owner of the database (rather than a user with the db_owner role), when you create a query, it creates it under the dbo schema rather than DOMAIN\username.
Steps to do so (in Management Studio):
Right click database, select Properties
Click File
Change Owner in the textbox
OK to confirm
Downside - other users under db_owner role will still have their username appended. So schemas have to be created for these users.

Maximum number of user mailboxes supported by single Exchange Database in 2007 / 2010 & 2013 ?

What is the Maximum number of user mailboxes supported by single Exchange Database in 2007 / 2010 & 2013 ?
Aditya Mediratta

Agree with Keith, there is no MB # limit, however there are practical concerns such as DB size and how that effects recoverability as well as performance. In terms of extremes we had one major educational customer that had 35K Mailboxes in
a single database so you can utilize a ridiculous # of mailboxes in a DB if desired. IMO you are better off to keep the # of mailboxes to a reasonable level, i.e. no more than 250-500 mailboxes per DB

Moving Exchange 2010 Mailbox replicated databases path in DAG environments.

Hi there,
I’m trying to get some feedback on the topic of moving Exchange 2010 Mailbox replicated databases path in DAG environments.
Here is the situation: I currently have a 3-Node DAG (Node 1 and Node 2 are in my main datacenter, and Node 3 in my Disaster Recovery (DR) site in a remote location.
I have DB copies in Node 2 and Node 3. The thing is that the DB copies in Node 2 are in an older storage box and since we got a new storage box, I need to move the DBs and related logs of Node 2 to the new storage box
I have found some information about how to deal with this (below I’m listing a KB link) but I would like to reconfirm a couple of things to make sure I’m understanding this correctly
Move the Mailbox Database Path for a Mailbox Database Copy:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd979782%28v=exchg.141%29.aspx
According to the KB: “If the mailbox database being moved is replicated to one or more mailbox database copies, you must follow the procedure in this topic to move the mailbox
database path”
Would this apply to my case even when I’m moving the BDs copies and Logs on Node 2 as opposed to Node 1 where the source DBs are?
On step #3 in the procedure, you are supposed to “Remove all mailbox database copies for the database being moved. After all copies are removed, preserve the database and transaction log files from each server from which the database copy is being removed
by moving them to another location. These files are being preserved so the database copies do not require re-seeding after they have been re-added.”
Then in Step # 7, you are supposed to “Add all of the database copies that were removed in Step #3”
As far as I know, when you add a copy of a database, Exchange creates the copy DB and starts to seed the replica servers with an up to date copy of the DB and all the current transaction logs at that point…according to the instructions
above, you are supposed to re-add the DB copied we preserved...does it mean that we need to wait for the DBs seed process to finish after “adding the DB copy” and then replace the new DBs copies and logs created by the “Add database copy” function with the
DB and logs preserved in Step #3?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Hi there,
What the article is stating is that once you have removed the copies you can keep the existing transaction log files and database edb file to allow you not to have to do a full seed. You can do this by using the -seedingpostponed parameter in
Add-MailboxDatabaseCopy
However, and quite honestly, if your database isn't that big and your are not worried about performing a full copy of the database again to the other DAG members once you have moved your database to its preferred new location, just add the copy in the normal
way and remove the legacy files afterwards.

Recover exchange database *.edb or if possible the mailboxes

Hi, there
Yesterday i made a terrble mistake, i change my config IIS in my server, and i broke every thing, so, in order to fix it, i reformat the HArd drive and reconfigure my AD Server.
Before that i made a backup of may mailbox database, but didnt dismount. Now i cannot mount again my database, it tells that "MAPI Exception Called....." which means i lost everything. I'm quite desperate, i didint sleep last night.
Today, after some research, i found some products that doesnt work, in order to recover my edb file. Nothing work, Also i tried using Eseutil /p <database dir>, then Eseutil /d <database dir>. didnt work too!
Please if you could help me i would apreceate....Marco Enxuto,

Not sure if "CreateLdifFromDisconnectedMailboxes.ps1" is available for Exchange 2010 and works in it (don't have Exchange 2010 test environment in front of me) but this script can create AD accounts from disconnected mailboxes available in Exchange 2007 Database.
Take a look if it helps somehow...

I can't either mount for remove Exchange 2010 mailbox database file

Yesterday I proceeded with moving Exchange 2010 database file to a newly installed hard drive because my "C" drive was running out of space. After dismouting both the mailbox database and the public folder database, I used EMC's "move
data path" wizard to move both the mailbox database and public folder database to "mailbox" folder in "D" drive. The move was successful without an error, but when I opened "mailbox" folder in "D" drive, both
the database file and public folder database files weren't there. All the other files were moved, but the mailbox database file was gone.
Luckily I manually copied entire mailbox folder to another folder in "D" drive. So I manually copied mailbox database file (it is about 20GB) to "d:\mailbox". When I try to mount, I received the following error message.
Microsoft Exchange Error
Failed to mount database 'Mailbox Database 1658107303'.

EMC would not even delete the database file.
I need help. I need to mount my mailbox database file. Please help.

If the database was fine pre move I doubt it needs a repair, however if you want to validate do an eseutil /mh ReplaceWithYourDatabaseName.edb and post the results here
did you move the logs as well or are they still in same location
I have seen this before if everything is where its supposed to bea restart fixed it so I would recommend that you put the DB back into the NEW D path and do a restart to see if that resolves the issue
