Scripted restore

[Dinosaur Matt]

Has anyone scripted a restore of "several" users?

EASADMIN can restore a single user, I need to restore a large number of users in bunches.

You can select multiple mailboxes from the list of mailboxes presented. Clicking 'restore' will prompt you to restore email or stubs to the mailboxes.

I also have code for a scripted restore to PST for migration purposes.

Hi Matt,

 

there are several Tools that can Support you. Transvault (www.transvault.com) or our Tool "ArchiveObjectRestore" what we develope since years (see PDF)

In 2007 when I was trained in V5, the topic never came up. After all, why would you want to put it BACK after all the planning to take it out?

We didn't spend much time in the RESTORE function. THANK-YOU "r0bsk1" for the simple-direct solution!

[Dinosaur Matt]

Update, testing failed :-(

The data was restored, but the stubs were not deleted and there's no option to delete the stubs on restore.

Ideas? / Suggestions?

Now create and run a task with the users you've just restored and set the action to stub removal.

[Dinosaur Matt]

Since I've seen and experienced the situation where running a restore with stub deletion has left a few stubs unrestored, that's not a safe solution.

There were no errors in the log and subsequent runs restored the ones that were missed.

This technique would (probably) remove a user's data.

So I'm back to my original question, now revised. Is there a way to script a restore of stubbed items AND REMOVE THE STUBS FOR THE ITEMS THAT IT HAS SUCCESSFULLY RESTORED?
