RESTORE SINGLE USER MAILBOX CONTENT USING EXCHANGE 2010 AND DPM 2010

 

Prerequisites

  • An RDB must be created.
  • The database and log files containing the recovered data must be restored or copied into the RDB folder structure that was created when the RDB was created.
  • The database must be in a clean shutdown state. Because an RDB is an alternate restore location for all databases, all restored databases will be in a dirty shutdown state. You can use Eseutil /R to put the database in a clean shutdown state.

(Text copied from technet)

Step 1

Start up DPM 2010 and go to the Recovery section, select the appropriate database, also make sure to select a date very the user mailbox should be recovered from.
Right click the database and select “Recover”.


Check so that the date and time are correct and press “Next”.
Select “copy to network folder” and select “Next”.
Copy destination, select the appropriate server and folder press “Next”.

On the next selection window we got a very nice option to select, it’s called “Bring the database to a clean state after copying the files”.
Select that one and click “Next” and press “Recover” to start the job.
 

 

Step 2

Log onto mailbox server (or any of the Exchange 2010 servers), startup Exchange Management Shell and run the following command to create a Recovery Mailbox Database.
With this command we point out the database we just recovered in Step 1.

“New-MailboxDatabase -Name “RDB” -Server EX-MBX01 -EDBFilePath “E:\RDB\DPM_12-31-2009_18.0.59\MDB1\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Mailbox\Mailbox Database 0091898942\Mailbox Database 0091898942.edb” –Logfolderpath E:\RDB\DPM_12-31-2009_18.0.59\MDB1\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Mailbox\Mailbox Database 0091898942\ -Recovery”

To check the database user contents run the following command
“Get-MailboxStatistics –Database “RDB”

If you want to check the state of the database run the following command
“eseutil /mh ‘.\Mailbox Database 0091898942.edb'”

Step 3

Log onto mailbox server (or any of the Exchange 2010 servers), startup Exchange Management Shell and run the following command to restore the user mailbox.

“Restore-Mailbox -Identity jonand -RecoveryDatabase “RDB”

Confirm
Are you sure you want to perform this action?
Recovering mailbox content from mailbox ‘Jonas Andersson’ in the recovery database ‘RDB’ to the mailbox for ‘Jonas Andersson (Jonas.Andersson@testlabs.se)’. This operation may take a long time to complete.
[Y] Yes [A] Yes to All [N] No [L] No to All [?] Help (default is “Y”):

The following text is copied from TechNet (can also be very use full!)

This example bulk restores all the mailboxes in the mailbox database DB1 that are also present in the recovery database RDB.
“Get-Mailbox -Database DB1 | Restore-Mailbox -RecoveryDatabase “RDB”

Done!

[RAID] SWITCH FROM AHCI TO RAID WITH INTEL C600 CONTROLLER

I personally have used other ways to do this. Manipulating some registry settings in combination with a safe boot before booting normally does the trick as well. This works with both SATA SSD and M.2 NVMe drives and it enables relatively fast switching between back and forth between AHCI and RAID. I have described this method below.  I have also tried the same process used to switch from RAD to AHCI and that works as well. Switch to safe boot Reboot into BIOS Change from AHCI to RAID in the BIOS Boot into safe mode Turn off safe mode and reboot normally again Nothing else and that also did the trick, just like with moving from RAID to AHCI.  So the link above and my step by step below is here for completeness. You have options in case one of them doesn’t work! Step by step AHCI to RAID registry method This procedure I describe below works on Windows 10 1803/1809 and has been tested on Dell Latitude E6220 an XPS 13 9360. Editing the registry is...

LỖI "The provided partition "Migration...." is not a valid Migration mailbox"

  Solution for a valid Migration mailbox could not be found for this organization To address this issue, we will: Delete Migration mailbox in Active Directory Users and Computers Recreate Migration mailbox with /PrepareAD command Enable Migration mailbox with Exchange Management Shell 1. Delete Migration mailbox in Active Directory Users and Computers We do see the mailbox in ADUC, let’s remove it. If you don’t see it, search for it. It might be in a different container than the default container  Users . We can always verify in Exchange Management Shell if the Migration mailbox is present. If it shows up in the output, it means that it’s present and enabled. The output should be empty. [PS] C:\> Set - ADServerSettings - ViewEntireForest $true ; Get - Mailbox - Identity "Migration.8f3e7716-2011-43e4-96b1-aba62d229136" - Arbitration | Format-Table Name , ServerName , Database , AdminDisplayVersion , ProhibitSendQuota Copy 2.
