Recover Old Exchge 2000 MDBDATA files

[ajacode]

Do you know how to retrieve valuable data stuck in some Exchange 2K data files recovered from the Exchgsrvr\MDBDATA fiolder on a crashed Win2003 SBS Server.

I have since re-installed SBS2003 and Exchange 2000 but I can't seem to see any documentation to see if I can recover the files.

I dare not just "Drop them into the MDBDATA folder so does anyone know the little secret to retrieving that data ?

Thanks Beforehand

get exmerge and point it at the priv.edb file.

What is exmerge ? I haven't heard of it before. Is it a utility within exchange?

Thanks for your reply Z

We used a tool called Ontrack Powercontrols version 1.1 to move emails from a crashed 5.5 to a exchange 2000 server. It has a $$ on it but it saved me from losing data twice and I didn't have time to jack with fixes.
You might research this tool if all else fails.
