Did you follow: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998782(EXCHG.65).aspx Using Recovery Storage Groups in Exchange Server 2003

Hi, I also suggest you read the link provided by Andy first. For your question: "You cannot connect user mailboxes in a Recovery Storage Group to user accounts in Active Directory. The only supported method that you can use to access mailboxes in a Recovery Storage Group is by using the Exchange Server 2003 version of the Exmerge.exe tool. " More information: How to use Recovery Storage Groups in Exchange Server 2003 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824126/en-usFrank Wang

Thanks all friends. My problem had resolved. I just installed SP-2 for Exchange2003 and i was able to see the Exchange Task there. i also wrote an article for people help.https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/blogs/exchange-task-not-showing-rsg Haseeb
