Then restore this selection to the Exchange server to a temporary folder, i.e. D:\Temp\Recovered_Database.edb

Step 4

Open a Command Line windows, navigate to the Bin folder within the Exchange install location and launch the tool "ESEUTIL.EXE" followed by the /p switch. Without this step, the file won’t be able to be mounted.

D:\Program Files\Exchange Server\Bin>eseutil.exe /p D:\Temp\Recovered_Database.edb

Step 5

After the file has been scanned by "ESEUTIL.EXE" move/copy it to the same location where the current EDB file resides.

Step 6

Open the Exchange Management Console, and Dismount the current Database, under Server Configuration > Mailbox > Database Management.

Step 7

Change the extension of the dismounted database to .OLD and rename the recovered_DB.edb to the same name as the original database.

Step 8

Mount the new database. Exchange services may need to be restarted.

Step 9

Check that data is present by login into WebMail or Outlook as a user, then check that all of their emails are present.
