Need Help Restoring A Mailbox from Exchange 2016 using DPM 2019

[Fazza]

Exchange 2016 and DPM 2019

 

 

One of our users had deleted lots of entries from his Calendar using a mobile phone app that doesnt have a deleted items folder so all his planning for the next few weeks is now gone!

 

I've recovered the staff mailbox store (700GB edb file) to a non-exchange server (as that's the only one we had that had enough free space on it) but I dont seem to be able to extract a mailbox from it and convert it to a .pst file so I can copy and paste the Calendar entries over to users current mailbox.

 

When I run Get-MailboxStatistics -Database \\server\share\staff.edb at the Exchange Management Shell it just says the database cannot be found so I'm clearly doing the wrong thing!

 

 

How can I extract or get access to the users mailbox from the recovered staff.edb file or have I gone about this the wrong way?! The last time I restored a users mailbox was around 20 years ago so I'm a little rusty!

You can't extract a mailbox in the way youre' trying to do it

 

However, there may be an easier way.

 

Running as the user in outlook, Add Recover deleted items to the quicklook bar (File.. Options.. Quick Access Toolbar)

 

Once added, click on calendar in the folder view, then the newly displayed recover deleted items in the quick access toolbar top left.
