Mounting Exch2K DB without bringing up-to-date

[J.H]

Dear All,

I have recently restored off-site an Exchange 2000 DB on the server which
have
the same configuration of production Exchange server. However, after the
restored,
I found that I had the transaction log location incorrect caused the
database could not
be mounted after the Exchange 2000 DB restore (BrightStor ArcServe).
However, I
had the priv1.edb, priv1.stm , pub1.edb, pub1.stm in place. I fixed
transaction log location,
unfortunately the restore done before I've done that. So the DB could not be
mounted.

- I ran Integrity check, said that this database is not up-to-date!!!

My goal is to make the database available for exporting some previous
mailboxes.

How can I just ignore the up-to-date and just mounting the DB online?

Thanks,
J.H

Are the log files still on the disk?
Is the restore.env file still on the disk?

No,, I deleted them all (too bad!!)
If this is the case, I just don't care the data lost, I just want to be able
to mount the database
on, data lost is not the matter at this time!!

Thansk,

Hi,

If you don't mind the risk of loosing som edata you can perform a hard
repair of the databases:

Thanks Leif, this is what was being looked for.

It was actually an off-site restore server (lab) where IT got instruction
from management to
export some important mailbox for some special purpose though.
