dapaulio Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 Environment On prem Exchange 2010 in hybrid mode Mailboxes protected by daily backup to dpm 2012r2 Scenario Investigation in to emails sent between 2 students where they have both deleted the email and deleted it from the deleted items. Unfortunately the retention policy we had has now removed it from the recover deleted items deleted items... 🤪 hope you are still following What I have done so far Created a recovery user with a mailbox called recovereduser Created and mounted a new recovery database in exchange New-mailboxdatabase -recovery -name ... -edbfilepath ... blah blah. DONE Recovered the dpm protected mailbox to recovery dB on exchange.... recovery was successful Ran powershell to restore mailbox to the recovereduser... problem occurred My Problem The mailbox does not exist in the recoverydb. Why??? I can see that the database is somewhat equivalent in size to the database I was recovering If I run get-mailbox -database recoverydb No mailboxes are found in the database Any help would be appreciated
dapaulio Posted September 30, 2018 Author Posted September 30, 2018 Worked it out. It turned out my last ps cmd Restore-mailbox -identity name -recoverydatabase rdb1 -recoverymailbox mailbox The variables mailbox and name was expecting display names rather than what I was using which was the samaccount name
