Hi, I have the necessity to recover a .edb file into a .pst or other format file, I have only the hard disk with the file of the so because the server is ko. There is a way to extract the mail from the edb file? Like a trial program o a utility? Thank you Simone

What version of Exchange is the EDB from? What version are you on now? Is it the same organization name? Here are some third party utilities that claim to do what you want, but I have not experience with them: http://www.goexchange.com/product/digiscope.asp http://www.ontrackpowercontrols.com/solutions/exchange-overview/Tim Harrington - Catapult Systems - http://HowDoUC.blogspot.com

Exchange 2003 is the edb.. Now the organization doesn't work with exchange but use only web mail with the provider... I want to test the program that you have link me.. Ciao Simone

Simone, Using third part tool for conversion is preety easy for you, But if you wish you can go by mounting DB into exchange 2003 server by creating new isolated ENV. Yeah you have to remember drive/path of EDB/LOG path etc as it was in old server. You can use below link for more idea : http://support.microsoft.com/?id=555603 Exchange 2007 is very good for database portability where you can mount DB to other server.Anil

And remember that the organization name and administrative group names must be identical in the isolated environment to what they were in the original forest. If this organization has been around for a long time it have admin groups that aren't conveniently named "First Administrative Group". --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Hi Simone, Due to the structure of EDB file, convert whole EDB file to a single PST file should be impossible, however there is a tool allow you to export a individual mailbox to separated PST file. The tools named Exmerge where you can download from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=429163EC-DCDF-47DC-96DA-1C12D67327D5&displaylang=en and extract to the \Program Files\Exchsrvr\bin\ More detail information from: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/174197

Actually DigiScope http://www.lucid8.com/product/digiscope.asp will allow you to export multiple users into a single PST, however, there is of course a 20GB limitation in the size of a Unicode PST. Anyway just thought I would let you know it is possible to export all users OR items from all users into individual PST,s or a single PST per user with DigiScope. You can read more about it here in this Section http://www.lucid8.com/download/documentation/DSWebHelp/DigiScopeHelp.htm#MNG/Export_Selected_Items_to_PST.htm of the online help and then Scroll down to the EXPORT GROUPING OPTIONS and you will see what I am talking about.
