Hi guys,
I need some help quite badly
This is really for exchange experts or people who are quite comfortable with exchange
There were some probelms with our exchange server on Friday 25th, the UPS failed and the exchange server shut down. A couple of days later we noticed problems with exchange mailboxes and decided to do a restore of the information store (using veritas daily backups). I made sure that the option to keep transaction logs was ticked! so as not to lose any work dating back to the restore date.
I performed a restore of Thursday 24th information store. The restore performed successfully, I was then uable to mount the mailbox store and received an error message which turned out to be due to the fact that the store first had to be recovered after the restore using eseutil.
So i went ahead and followed some instructions provided in the exchange troubleshooting wizard and performed the eseutil /cc command. This ran successfully. I was then able to remount the mailbox store and exchange was up and running.
However, emails as now missing dating from Thursday 24th to Wednesday 30th May (today).
I am quite comfortable with exchange however I am not an expert on it and am really not 100% sure on this issue. I made a manual backup of all the transaction logs which were present in the MDBDATA folder before I ran the eseutil command.
Is there any way to restore these logs back so that I can get those missing emails back?
Any help is appreciated
