Exchange mailbox database of leaver

[Guest2]

Is there way to find the Exchange Mailbox database location of someone who no longer has a mailbox? (and the mailbox has been purged)

I still have the user alias and disabled AD account.

Searching through log files I cannot find the info. If needed I have access to SQL tables, ADSI, Exchange, basically everything


This is needed for a restore of a mailbox from NetApp


Thanks

Do you not have a backup you can restore from? Presumably what is stored on the NetApp is some sort of snapshot of the full Exchange mailstore?

Yes, but I need the database info so can do the restore. (we have over 15 DBs)

Yes, we have backups. Its not as simple as 'selecting restore, the user and allow the backup software to do the rest'


You need to know which database they were one then use NetApp to find the snapshot and date they left (then recover from snapdrive & Single mailbox recovert and export to PST/restore to dummy mailbox)

Either way, i have recovered the database info from transaction logs

Thanks
