| HI,
Our Exchange server 2003 got destroy by the water, so I build a
new exchange server with the same name and put it back in the network,
so the users are getting emails again but they can see their old email.
Later, I was able to revive the destroyed email server by changing the
motherboard in that server.
My question is, how can I move the emails from the old
emailserver1 to the new emailserver1? I have full access to both, should
I use recovery store? I cant put the old one in the network since it was
also a DC (I manually remove that from AD).
Not worry about public folders.
What files do I need to copy? The priv take almost 150 gigs.

| Well, there are two ways to do this, based on your backup situation.
Right-now, if you built your recovery server properly (which it sounds like
you probably did, since your users are receiving new email), you have what
is called a "dial tone" server. What you need to do is a dial tone recovery.
Dial tone recovery, in all its glory, is covered in this white paper:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998947.aspx
Basically, you've already "reset the message store". What you'll do next is
"restore" the old database files to the new server, reset them to deal with
database portability, mount them in a RSG, and then use the mailbox merge
process to move the users data into their live mailboxes.
Read the white paper. It's pretty good.

| That's basically what the "mailbox merge" process is, depending on your
version of Exchange.

Wouldn't exmerge be of any help by exporting/importing the mailboxes?

| I hear that ex-merge will increase the size of the database
considerably, because any email sent to a group will get copy to all the
mailboxes instead of being a pointer.
