We have migrated all of our users over to an Exchange 2010
environment, but kept a 2003 server around for legacy restores. Today
I received a couple of requests to restore emails from the old 2003
environment. I have recovered the database, and see the information
that I am looking for, but I am unable to pull the information from
the Recovery Storage Group. I keep getting an error when using ExMerge
pointing to the fact that the user is no longer on the mailbox
database where the backup was taken from. Is there a way to pull the
user's mailbox from the RSG database to a PST without have to either
move the user back to the old server or use ExMerge?

Can you create a new temporary user account, and reconnect the needed
mailbox to that new account, then get the data via Exmerge? We use an
older version of a tool called powercontrols (http://
www.ontrackpowercontrols.com/) to extract data from restored .edb
files so that we don't have to mess with mounting it. It works really
well.

Good luck!
