Desperate for help with edb file

[Mr_M_Cox]

Hi All,

 

I am just about to have a breakdown over this one.

 

Basically, its a long story of how I ended up here but, I need to be able to pull a mailbox (or individual mails) out of an Exchange edb file.

 

I know there are lots of third party tools that can do it but they are massively expensive for what will be a one time use. I have seen talk online of using exchange recovery groups but when creating mine always errors.

 

If possible would someone be kind enough to either link to or explain in here a way I can do it. I am running Exch 2007 on server 03. I don't mind how it is done but I need to retrieve these emails asap.

 

Thanks all

How big is the file i use exchange recovery toolbox we can have a go if you want if the file isnt too big?

[Mr_M_Cox]

WesleyW - Thank you very much for the offer, unfortunately the file is 100GB!

 

I am guessing that the tool you speak of is pay for?

[wesleyw]

Sadly yes about £300 I think.

U can mount the file as a recovery database and use restore-mailbox to restore certain mailboxes etc.
