I am trying to restore a mailbox for my revovery storage and because ethe
user's msExchMailboxGuid value has changed the Exmerge utility fails because
the msExchMailboxGuid is different from what it is expecting.

The Exmerge.log file gives the details as follows:

msExchMailboxGuid x\19v\D3\C8\3A\2DA\9F\F2\05\00\C8\29\18\9B.

But I need to translate this code above to HEX format to allow me to
manually change the msExchMailboxGuid value for the user in ADSI.

Can anyone help me to translate this code?

Thanks
ZAZ
